Route a /29 subnet to them, which is the smallest block that'll give them at least 3 usable addresses. (8 addresses, 6 usable.)
O.K... I guess I can do this through RADIUS, right? Now, subnetting below /24 has always been a weak point for me... and I realise I'm going a bit off topic, but I figure everyone on this list are about as knowledgable in subnetting as I'm going to find. I understand the basic tables of subnets and masks for under a class C. But I have two questions on how to use them. First, lets say I give this dialup a network of 192.168.1.0/29 (assuming 192.168.1.0/24 is a normal, routable class C). The net number is .0 and the broadcast is .7. What I don't understand next is what to do with the rest of the addresses. Can I dump the rest of the addresses onto an existing segment of my network that currently has a class C on it? Would I do it like the following? Internet----Router(200.200.200.1) | ____________ Main Network 200.200.200.0/24 192.168.1.8/29 192.168.1.16/28 192.168.1.32/27 192.168.1.64/26 192.168.1.128/25 ____________ | ____________ Total Control (normally gives out IPs from a pool in 200.200.200.0/24 Gives out a 192.168.1.0/29 ____________ Next, I don't quite understand where I need to apply static routes. I assume I would need to add a static route on the TC for the subnet I give the dialup, but would that subnet also require a routing entry on my router, except for the obvious need for a 192.168.1.0/24 route? Confused... but thanx in advance... ----Steve Stephen Amadei Director of MIS Dandy Connections, Inc.
