[SLUG] ADSL - FULL Bridge - HELP!! - Netcomm1300+4
Hi Sluggers. I am trying without much reliability to have a Netcomm 1300 + 4 ADSL modem running in full bridge mode with SwifDSL.com.au as the ISP. ISP is wonderfull, its the bloody modem or my setup I suspect. I can't run half bridge (which works wonderfully without problem for weeks) its simply I need full bridge so the Linux box with Apache+SSL certificate work with the assigned static IP address (SSL need it otherwise certificate porblems arise). I am using SuSE Pro 9.0 and every setups and runs without errors. Ifconfig looks follows: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BF:4E:1F:F9 inet addr:192.168.1.6 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::250:bfff:fe4e:1ff9/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5357 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4265 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:2 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:2475248 (2.3 Mb) TX bytes:528631 (516.2 Kb) Interrupt:5 Base address:0xd800 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:E8:13:83:9B inet addr:192.168.10.1 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::200:e8ff:fe13:839b/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1195 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1610 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:143087 (139.7 Kb) TX bytes:1652323 (1.5 Mb) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xd400 loLink encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:68 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:68 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:4360 (4.2 Kb) TX bytes:4360 (4.2 Kb) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:218.214.53.231 P-t-P:202.154.95.185 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1492 Metric:1 RX packets:5260 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4163 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:2353044 (2.2 Mb) TX bytes:432752 (422.6 Kb) and routing is fine: Has anyone got a Netcomm 1300+4 running FULL BRIDGE mode ? Can you offer any suggestions on what I should look at?

Has anyone got a Netcomm 1300+4 running FULL BRIDGE mode ? Can you offer any suggestions on what I should look at? I have a number of them running on Swiftel. The simple fact is that I've found that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Swiftel say it's a Telstra problem, that on some lines PPPoE just doesn't work and so you have to use PPPoA on the modem. I don't think they know what the problem is. The fact is that in some situations it just can't be made to work. So you have a couple of options: (a) replace the modem. It might work better with a different modem, can't guarantee this because I haven't tried it although the reports on whirlpool seem to indicate that this is the case. (b) pay for a 4 IP netblock from Swiftel and run the modem as a router, giving you a spare (routed) IP for your SSL server. (c) change ISPs. TPG run all of their modems in bridged mode and it always works all of the time. They don't have a reasonably priced 512/512 plan, though, and I find their network is a bit slower than Swiftel's. -- Del -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Full Bridge (I presume we're talking RFC1483 bridging here) and this: ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol Are somewhat counter to each other. The typical mode of a DSL modem in a bridging configuration is one where one of the ethernet cards is assigned the IP address needed, and the modem is plugged into that port. The ethernet card then throws appropriately addressed packets out that port (after having been told that it's default gateway is out that port, typically) and the packets get routed nicely. Your ethernet cards are both currently assigned reserved addresses, which is nice but probably not what you're after here. You'll want to reassign your 'net connection one's address to the one given by your provider. - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Well, if that is the case, then DO NOT use the Netcomm NB3300. I am on
Swiftel with that modem and it continually returns to PPPoA.
