What is it that you feel you have to manage behind the natted CPE? Unless they are a business account, they don't really NEED to do anything other than private space on their end, which means YOU don't have to manage anything. If they ARE a business account, you can hand them public space. I don't get what is hard about that... For example, if you provide static assignments (not pppoe), you can simply: 1. Configure the public side of the radio 2. Set up NAT 3. Done If you provide DHCP, you have to: 1. Configure your DHCP server space 2. DONE If you provide pppoe, you must: 1. Set up user account with their IP address or pool 2. DONE If you need to provide them a public IP to their gear, behind your CPE (like your beloved cable companies): 1. Bridge your CPE 2. Do one of the above using THEIR information/router and let them configure their gear 3. DONE I don't see the problem you apparently see. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation * * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * * NOTE THE NEW PHONE NUMBER: 702-537-0979 * ******************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
