2700 with multiple ext ip addresses

g7pkf · Feb 01, 2009, 12:25:58

Has anyone set up a 2700 with multiple ip addresses?

I am trying with singtel firmware but everytime i try and set the netmask it defaults back to 255.255.255.255

I think i have the rest of the router "sussed" out and am going to assign 1 ip to a firewall and the other to a different firewall.

Settings idnet state:-

IP Address    91.XXX.XX.224 - 91.XXX.XX.227

as i say as soon as i try and put in a netmask other than 255.255.255.255 the router refuses to save it. if i use dhcp it again picks up 255.255.255.255

Settings in the router

Connection Type:    PPPoA
User Name:    XXXXX@idnet.gw5
IP Address Range:    91.XXX.XX.225
Subnet Mask:    255.255.255.255
Gateway:    212.69.63.55
Primary DNS:    208.67.222.222
Secondary DNS:    212.69.36.3

anyone any ideas? i am sure this worked prior to me moving my adsl to a different phone line.

Why isn't the Router set up to obtain them automatically ?

255.255.255.255 is the correct subnet mask for a fixed IP

Sorry, I'm not sure either, Dean!

yes but i "should" have 2 avalible fixed ip's 91.XXX.XX.225 and 91.XXX.XX.226 so 255.255.255.252 should be the correct range.

This is the 2wire documentation for setting up multiple broadband IP addresses, make sure you use the correct firmware options.

Let us know if you succeed

Thanks for the link.

Hmm had a quick go think i may need to reconfigure from scratch.

This is not a problem as i have a couple of spare 2700's and will use one of those.

will have a "play" tommorrow.

It does not seem to work with singtel firmware or i may ahve the keycode wrong thats why its locking it down

5225-2374-WG62-22AS-BJ7P is the keycode i am using which is a fully manual one.

am also going to give support an email as i had this working prior to adsl line move, trouble is i tinker with routers a lot (collection of 12 now and another 2 on order)

will try with the sbc firmware tommorrow........will keep you all posted
