I guess not. ;-) Either they have to configure PPPoE or I have to configure NAT. If they use PPPoE, they don't pass 1500 byte packets (I've asked about raising the MTUs above 1500 to accommodate, and no one had an answer) and they have to configure the router. You use DHCP and now either you can't do the bandwidth shaping or you have to mess with knowing their router's MAC address.
Either it doesn't do what it should or there is too much human intervention. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Butch Evans" <[email protected]> To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 4:38:35 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Ubiquiti Radios as routers On Fri, 2012-10-19 at 15:52 -0500, Mike Hammett wrote: > Except that's sub-optimal.

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 _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
