I have 50 AP’s with hotspot access adn around 1000 clients. All addresses are private.
Now I get /20 range from my ISP and I want to go with PPPoE and public addresses for current customers and privat will stay for free hotspot access.
What protocols tu use for routing (now everything is staticly routed) because I plan to extend my network and add more redudant links.
Where to go with PPPoE servers, one near Internet gateway or one at every AP?
How to do transitions with low as possible problems.
I read lots of threads at forum but I’'m still not shure what to do.
I have thepppoe server near the gateway and an eoip tunnel from each access point to the pppoe server (I’m migrating to vpls).
I know a wisp having pppoe servers on access point.
Both solutions are effective and I cannot say whath is the better.
RB1000, not RB100. RB100 is crappy old board.
RB1000 tested by us to handle up to 300 users with mppe128 encryption. But I don’t know actual limitations. I think it is only CPU and Memory dependent. You can use one vrrp group for active/standby failover or you can DNS names and two vrrp groups for active/active failover.
I personally recommend you keep your network simple and if you don’t need MPLS-based application like VPNv4, VPLS etc. - use OSPF as a routing protocol and EoIP as L2VPN service for you customers.
Yes, I misstyped RB100 over RB1000.
But, my clients have MT as client device. I’m pllaning to use that client device to connect to PPPoE server. There be lot’s of EoIP tunnels… Is this a good way? Beside that, I need to give my current customers, which are connecting trought Hotspot, public IP. How this fits into this story? And finally, I have free hotspots access which also needs IP addresses. Ok my current customers and free hotspot users would get IP’s the same way, but how? Which is best approach?
