Cory,This is pretty much the question I had brought up after working with Tom I think when bringing up the Monroe hospital. All I was looking for was to expose the site's router (RB2011 in this case) to grab a public IP similar to a DSL or cable connection. Configuring a public subnet just to have an external IP on an internal router seems to add more administration than would be needed for 90% or more of the sites. Having the firewall configurations being done/updated on a normal basis out at the antenna/metal means you have to GO to the antenns to reaet the router if there are and config snags (been there/done that). Having the user-managed device be inside the building is a LOT more convenient when something goes TU and leaves the antenna router in a more static/stable condition. Please keep me in the loop for what becomes the preferred config for this as I expect to have most of my sites in this situation. -------- Original message -------- From: "Cory (NQ1E)" <cory@nq1e.hm> Date: 3/5/17 3:56 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Puget Sound Data Ring <psdr@hamwan.org> Cc: netops@hamwan.org Subject: Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Metal 5SHPN Network Help Hi Kyle, It is possible to bridge your interfaces togtether so your internal router could request a DHCP lease from the sector. However, we would prefer you avoided that. If you would like public IP addresses to use inside of your network, we can have a subnet of your desired size routed to your modem. For help configuring that, please either join us in the IRC chat room (#HamWAN on freenode) or email the ops team directly at: netops@hamwan.org Good luck! -CoryNQ1E On Sun, Mar 5, 2017 at 2:39 PM, Kyle Burgess <kd7iyt@gmail.com> wrote: I am trying to figure out the best way to configure my Metal 5SHPn so it acts like a bridge. However, I want to try and do it in a way where it won't disrupt the ability to remotely manage the radio (so the HamWAN team can still access it if need be). Ultimately, I would like to have the HamWAN assigned IP handed off to a dedicated interface on my router, just like what your typical ISP would do. That way I can handle any additional routing or NAT via my router, and not on the radio itself. Any thoughts on the best way to go about that? Would I just simply switch the wireless mode from "station" to "station bridge"? Or would there be more involved to do that? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
