Facepalm! I just realized I do have a public on this one as well. That actually leads me to a different question.
This is my primary DHCP server. It currently handles our entire network except for the handful of sites I have routed now. I had some trouble when I initially set it up and found that adding a public address to the interface that is within the network it is handing out addresses for solved it. As a result I have several public IPs assigned to this interface. Is this necessary? Somehow I doubt it but couldn't get it going otherwise and was in a crunch to do so. Thoughts? -Ty On Wed, Jul 25, 2012 at 1:22 PM, Butch Evans <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, 2012-07-25 at 10:10 -0500, Ty Featherling wrote: > > Looking at one of my routerboards that has a private 10.0.4.x address and > > the logs show multiple attempts to connect via ftp and ssh from a public > > address 213.229.93.218.
