Can m0n0wall act as a router (not a NAT device)? I have a problem setting up m0n0wall (and yes I have read the manual, faq, googled hours and still dont get it work). My isp gives two networks 212.149.148.0/24 and 212.149.156.0/24 and gatewys 212.149.148.254 and 212.149.156.254. Endusers in lan uses these ip:s, gateway 212.149.148.254 and a mask /20. So how do I set the m0nowall to act as a router? Using m0nowall as a bridge only works half well because traffic shapering isn't working properly in bridge mode... Could someone please help. Network is like this: Isp gave us: Networks 212.149.148.0./24 and 212.149.156.0/24 Gateways 212.149.148.254 and 212.149.156.0/24 (shows to lan as a "same machine" (has same mac address) ISP | wan-interface (tryed to set up the wan interface using 212.149.156.253/30 and gateway 212.149.156.254) m0n0wall lan-interface | lan (big layer 2 switch network) Hosts in lan use: (It's hard to change these addresses) Ips from 212.149.148.1-253 and 212.149.156.1-253 Netmask is 255.255.240.0 (/20) Smallest mask that makes possible hosts to directly talk eatch other in the lan. gateway for host is same 212.149.148.254 So basicly the network in lan is 212.149.144.0/20 using gateway 212.149.148.254 (this is the way I tried to set up the lan interface). questions: Is the big netmask /20 in a lan problem? Because we only use/"own" part of it (networks 212.149.148.0/24 and 212.149.156.0/24) so it leaves big gap between as those networks are already used in the internet by our isp. Can this be a problem to our isp? Can isp handle this problem? Netmask /20 seems to work fine in bridge mode. How do I correctly set up the static routes or routing in generally in m0n0wall? If m0n0wall cannot do it by it self, could a another router help? How to setup this with another router? Or do I need help from isp to get this working? Whatkind of ip networks I then need? and how to set up them in m0n0wall? What distro would you recoment to be used in a router? Are there any good open-source ones that are speasialiced for (advanced) routing)? For testing could exsample. Damm small linux live cd used to build a test router to test this out? How would I set up routes in it. Using the ip command? Exsamples? -- Pasi Leinonen Taivaanpankontie 14 B 406 70200 Kuopio Finland Lääketieteellinen teknologiakoulutus Kuopio university |
