[lug] re:cisco 675/ppp question (Steven Deal)

[Jopa]

I just went through this last week,
I never got wether you have more than 1 IP?
I am pretty sure they would have to give you at least two.
Anyway this is the issue that brought me to BLUG, and here is the article
that first got me going

http://archive.lug.boulder.co.us/bymonth/1999.06/msg00133.html

since the above solution used 10.0.0.2 as the address of eth0 to get out
I had to add an alias with one of my static ip's as eth0:0 to run httpd and
inetd

Who is your ISP? I am using uswest/qwest.net

Anyway if your not going to run a server this will be enough, I threw away
all of the docs
(that lead me to make eth0 10.0.0.2 and forged my own way with my IP's)

I have a 8 IP's of which some were reserved beyond my control
x.x.x.111 reserved broadcast
x.x.x.110 reserved gateway
x.x.x.104 reserved network
and I can use
x.x.x.105
x.x.x.106
x.x.x.107
x.x.x.108
x.x.x.109

so, here is how my 675 looks:

cbos#show int
           IP Address         Mask
eth0       x.x.x.110         255.255.255.0        #my ISP assigned default
gateway

vip0       0.0.0.0            255.255.255.0        N/A

vip1       0.0.0.0            255.255.255.0        N/A

vip2       0.0.0.0            255.255.255.0         N/A

wan0       Physical Port: Trained

           Dest IP Address    Mask
wan0-0    x.x.176.254     255.255.255.255     # My ISP assigns this, out of
my control

cbos#show nvram
[[ CBOS = Section Start ]]
NSOS Root Password = k/w0rcaf
NSOS Remote Restart = enabled
[[ PPP Device Driver = Section Start ]]
PPP Port Option = 00, IPCP,IP Address,3,Auto,Negotiation Not
Required,Negotiable
,IP,0.0.0.0
PPP Port Option = 00, IPCP,Primary DNS Server,129,Auto,Negotiation Not
Required,
Negotiable,IP,0.0.0.0
PPP Port Option = 00, IPCP,Secondary DNS Server,131,Auto,Negotiation Not
Require
d,Negotiable,IP,0.0.0.0
PPP Port User Name = 00, myISPusername
PPP Port User Password = 00, myISPpassword


This goes aginst what all the how to's I found said, but my connection
responds better than with the 10.0.0.2 address on my machines eth0

My ifconfig is along the lines of:
eth0  inet addr:x.x.x.105 Bcast:x.x.x.111 mask:255.255.255.248    #my ISP
said to use this mask?

lo  etc, etc.

Here is another opinion:

Once you get it to work, some good testing and tweaking tools at

Hope this helps,
