Accessing DOCSIS diagnostics from within/behind FreeBSD router
Guys, I'm not sure if this is even a FreeBSD question, but googling hasn't turned up much on it, so I thought I'd toss this one out there. I have a Motorola SB5100 cable modem directly attached to a FreeBSD router (running ipfilters/ipnat). The external network is a comcast segment, and is assigned a dynamic IP. The internal network is routed on 192.168.1.x, where the router is 192.168.1.254. The trick is, the cable modem is on the external side, but apparently listening on 192.168.1.100 for HTTP requests (for its diagnostics report). Is there anyway to access this diagnostic page without temporarily plugging the CM into a Windows box?

Since 192.168.1.x subnet is on the inside of the network, your FBSD box will never route a request for an IP on that network outbound by default. I may be shown up here, but you will probably be best changing your internal network to another subnet 192.168.0.x perhaps, and then your FBSD router should pass toward the Internet a request for 192.168.1.100, and hopefully the comcast modem will catch it.

The most obvious answer would be to change the internal network to not conflict with the external network. With a little more effort, you could set up the FreeBSD box to bridge instead of routing, and just make sure you don't assign the .100 address to anything other than the cable modem. -- Lowell Gilbert, embedded/networking software engineer, Boston area: resume/CV at http://be-well.ilk.org:8088/~lowell/resume/ username/password public ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
