I just installed a T1 to a new ISP using a Sangoma CSU/DSU card. |
| 2 |
I thought I could use aliased IPs on existing gigE NICS on our LAN |
| 3 |
to set up the hosts that need an internet routable presence. |
| 4 |
Maybe that can be done, but not by me. I don't understand enough. I |
| 5 |
can get it to work on the system with the T1. But not on another |
| 6 |
computer over the LAN. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
On the system with the T1, I have a gigE to the LAN, and one of the |
| 9 |
ISP's IPs for asterisk (as an alias to the T1). That works okay. It |
| 10 |
worked okay with the ISP's IP as an alias to eth0, too. |
| 11 |
Edited output from ifconfig: |

(this is the gigE NIC connected to a switch for our LAN) |

The problem I'm having is with an alias on another computer that |
| 40 |
needs to be on the internet. It is the IP 216.132.251.227. Traffic |
| 41 |
internal to our LAN is routed to the computer that has that alias |
| 42 |
(192.168.1.6). But, traffic coming from the internet gets to 209.101.232.82 |
| 43 |
and stops according to traceroute. |
| 44 |
I'm too ignorant to understand why the host route doesn't work for |
| 45 |
packets coming from the T1 (from the internet), and get sent to the |
| 46 |
computer that handles that IP. This is the latest in a series of |
| 47 |
attempts. I've also tried putting the 216.132.251.224 network on the |
| 48 |
LAN. I've tried using the 216.132.251.227's LAN address (192.168.1.6) |
| 49 |
as a gateway for the host route. I've tried removing the |
| 50 |
216.132.251.224 network route entirely, and just having host routes. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
What I was hoping to do was have one computer (192.168.1.17) |
| 53 |
connected to the ISP with a T1, and serve as a router for the ISP's |
| 54 |
IPs. That would also be connected to the internet with one of the ISP's |
| 55 |
IPs for use by asterisk (216.132.251.226). This seems to be working |
| 56 |
okay. |
| 57 |
I wanted another computer (192.168.1.6) to have an aliased ISP IP |
| 58 |
(216.132.251.227) that would let that computer also have an internet |
| 59 |
routable address. This is what I don't seem to be able to do. The |
| 60 |
computer with the T1 doesn't seem to route packets from the internet |
| 61 |
to the other computer over our LAN. It does for packets originating |
| 62 |
from our LAN. But not for packets from the internet. |
| 63 |
I know my error is going to be obvious to everyone who actually |
| 64 |
understands this stuff ;) I hope I've given the info to make things |
| 65 |
clear. |
| 66 |
I can set up a small Fast enet switch for the ISP's network, I |
| 67 |
guess. But I was hoping not to need to do that, and add more NICs to |
| 68 |
the computers that eventually need to be on the internet. But maybe |
| 69 |
that is what I need to do. |
| 70 |
Any and all advice (including things to read to decrease my |
| 71 |
ignorance) appreciated. |
