Well, it sounds to me that u already have a router in CISCO device, therefore 'he' should be able to do the routing himself. It is a hardware solution. Doesn't the router have another port from where you could go directly into the lan switch? Or maybe you wish to have a software router behind that router (a bit strange but I guess it could work anyway) like a machien with linux and MNF, is this what u try to tell me?
So the config on how to 'route' from ip public by CISCO must be INSIDE the CISCO config, and maybe you can access like its internal config program by http://172.10.10.23, for example. I have a SMC small hardware router like that with few ports, he is able to do that easily and easy to configure. But of course you cannot compare this with MNF where since its real software firewall u can do a lot. So basically try having the same ip on the wan of the machine zou try to install in between zour router and zour lan and if it does not work than just go to CISCO site and get the documentation for this hardware router zou have. Whz did zou buz CISCO it is usuallz verz expensive but he can do a lot bz itself, no need for another linux machine behind, unless u trz to do some verz comples network. As I noticed here people ask about how to use a linux machine with MNF to do routing once thez get their internet connection, and have not seen anzone asking about a combination of a CISCO router and MNF. I guess is mazbe better u clearlz define how is zour network intended to be than if I know I advice moreş elsewhere expertise as far as MNF is in the ţhandsţ of Florin and others in here. :o) Pe 18 Feb 2005, la 13:34, Massimo Caranchini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a scris: >OK, but the public ip is normally assigned to the router and then the router >is connected to the first nic (wan) >Ex:=20 >public 172.10.10.23 - Subnet; 255.255.255.255 >Internal lan: 192.168.1.xx Subnet 255.255.255.0 > >What address / S.Mask should I set to the first nic? > >How can I set the router to forward all packet to the address assignet to >the first nic ? > >Tks! > > >-----Messaggio originale----- >Da: Adrian RADU [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Inviato: venerd=EC 18 febbraio 2005 11.17 >A: [email protected] >Oggetto: Re: [Security Firewall] Only 1 Public IP > >well, I'm not an expert but is basically like this: >let's say u have: >eth0 - first nic >eth1 - second nic > >So you CHOOSE which nic you get the cable from CISCO to that chosen nic. >Then IP public u assign to this, and it will be WAN address. >Second nic you give for example an address in this range: >192.168.*.* >This can be used for LAN. >So in here you plug cable that goes after to your INTERNAL SWITCH so you can >give access to your internal LAN. >On every station on your internal LAN you must declare the second nic >192.168.*.* that you choose before to be the GATEWAY for this stations. >Then of course you put DNS from the ISP that gives you internet (wan >access). > >In MNF you can find the section to declare the: >ZONES - for example NET means internet or WAN place, LOCAL means internal >LAN INTERFACES - declare WHICH eth* you assign to which ZONE RULES - here >comes the real rules for your access by the MNF > >Then of course there is a section that tells you to use NAT (for example) so >you can get the 'transparency' you wish and so connect from LAN stations to >internet and viceversa. > >However Florin, is the BEST advisor in this, since he takes care of MNF and >established this very forum. > >hope it was of some help 2 u my idea > >Pe 18 Feb 2005, la 09:53, Massimo Caranchini ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a scris: > >>Hi all, >>=20 >>I have only 1 Public IP that is assigned to the router (Cisco SOHO 77) >>=20 >>How can i configure MNF with two nic ? >>=20 >>What kind of address can i use for the wan nic ? >>How can i configure the router to be "transparent" ?
