Hi all
I've searched thru the forums and have found some references to my issue but still i'm not able to get this working so i've reloaded a backup and will start again after many days scratching my head. Keeps me quiet I suppose!
I have a cable modem in the UK from Virgin Media and with this i have a dynamic Wan IP address - I need at least one fixed address for a Virtual Machine i have which will accept port forwarding but that messes with other parts of the infrastructure to it's external IP needs to be public and its internal needs to be private - i thought i would stick it into a DMZ and pray.
So after some pain i now have my 60E connected to a L2TP server however i have not as yet been able to configure my 60E to grab the IPs that i have been assigned - i have signed up for a /29 network
the connected gateway is 81.187.81.187/32 on ppp1 but i also see 81.187.19.130/32 - neither is on my /29 block of IPs - i am 81.187.40.x - my L2TP isp tell me that the /32 IPs are gateways which is fine even i f i dont understand how this can be so as i thought 81.187.40.x would have been the GW on a a 81.187.40.w subnet - don't suppose this is important for now
i've tried may things to get an IP from the tunnel but as yet nothing - nada. and so i turn to you the experts on the forum :)
what i don't understand is that if i want to route out of the ppp1 interface, why don't i see it as an option to route out of when i try to create a policy?
i have attached some screenshots from my 60E - and the output from get router info routing-table all
I was thinking that i would need to setup a route to use the get router info routing-table all ppp1 connection but tbh, i am at the point where i will finish writing this post then lie down - i will jump up again as soon as i have another bright idea!!
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated
thank you
