Hi List.
I have a DSL account from Netvision with a static IP, and in addition they
assigned me an additional block of 8 IP addresses that should be mapped to
this account- but I don't know how to make use of these addresses.
Did anyone manage to use the additional IP addresses of such a setup ? I tried
searching the web for this issue, but the only suggestion I found was to use
a hub instead of a DSL router and to have each machine that needs an external
IP start a PPPoE link directly - and I'm pretty sure that won't work.
Currently my setup is a LAN with a few computers connected behing a WRT54GL
router that has DD-WRT installed on it (an embedded Linux OS). I tried adding
IPs to the ppp0 link using any of these methods:
ip a add <ip> dev ppp0
ip a add <ip>/21 dev ppp0
ip a add <ip> peer 212.143.205.170/32 brd <ip> dev ppp0
but neither seem to allow me to connect to the router from outside the LAN
using the additional IP address.
I'm obviously missing something important, but what ?
Since at the end of the day all that is important is that your os will
know it has the ips and not that the ips will be on a specific interface
you can create a dummy interface and set it up with the IPs:
modprobe dummy
ifconfig dummy0 up <ip1>
ifconfig dummy0:1 up <ip2>
and so on
You might need to setup the ppp tunnel with proxyarp option.
