Metal 5SHPN Network Help
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! Regards, Kyle Burgess
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! -Cory NQ1E On Sun, Mar 5, 2017 at 2:39 PM, Kyle Burgess <kd7iyt@gmail.com> wrote:
