BT 2Wire v6

[mooby]

Dear All,

I have a BT 2wire Dual SID HW ver 2701-100589-005 FIRMWARE 6.1.1.48.1-enh.tm

The issue I have is one of static routes.  It seems the router is auto populating the static routes.

My remote office has this router and I've configured the LAN with a 10.7.77.0/24 address range.  My clients on this LAN to my corporate LAN via a PPTP connection.  When the the clients connect vis the PPTP VPN they get an address in my corporate LAN for example 10.7.64.x address.  I now have a nice new router connected to an MPLS.

What I am trying to achieve is very simple (In fact I done it on a v5 model last night at a different site).  I want to add a static route to 10.7.64.0 with Subnet 255.255.255.0 to gateway 10.7.77.1 (MY new MPLS router).  However, there is already routes added to the 10.7.64.0 subnet pointing to the address of my BT 2wire router (10.7.77.50).  This would make sense as the clients are using this to tunnel through to the corporate LAN.

However, I can only delete the routes I have added myself.  I do not have options to prioritise or delete existing automatic routes.  Is there a way a can purge the routing table or manually delete existing routes.

Hi and welcome to the forum.  

One of our 2700 experts should be along shortly.

Sorry not a user, does the management and diagnostic console exist in v6? as that used to have reset options.

Why not make it hard for us amateurs  

One "feature" to be aware of with V6 is that the device list is wrong if Openzone is disabled, after resetting the device list you need to re-enable Openzone while the list re-populates, then turn it off again.

Also without a factory reset it is possible that the 2700 will remember previous MAC addresses and re-allocate previous IP addresses.



These links may be useful to you

SiteMap

Option resets page which allows you to purge the device list,

NAT and IP Allocation page

Private network  this link is probably the most useful to you once the device list is showing correctly.

Please keep us informed of progress and be sure to study TRIPOD's 2770 info depository

Good luck

However, there is already routes added to the 10.7.64.0 subnet pointing to the address of my BT 2wire router (10.7.77.50).  This would make sense as the clients are using this to tunnel through to the corporate LAN.

A client PPTP VPN connection shouldnt need that route, the route to 10.7.64.0 is added to the client routing table to route down the tunnel and all the 2700 is doing is passing through the VPN traffic. I use a PPTP VPN connection to the office in similar circumstances and no static route is added to my 2700 routing table when the VPN is up.
However it is a v5 version, maybe the v6 has a bug. IIRC there were some issues with v6 and VPN's although I thought they'd been mostly resolved by 6.1.1.48.1, maybe not...
As I don't have a v6 I can't really check what happens to the static routing with a PPTP VPN connected I'm afraid.
