First of all, thanks for this great piece of firmware. My telco was blaming my ADSL2MUE for the packet loss i was having (using original linksys fw), and after finding RT the packet loss went (almost) completely away.
My modem is setup in bridge mode, and as i understood from other forum posts, the RT gui is not accessible by default. Is there a way to enable that?
My setup:
ISP----ADSL2MUE----Router/Firewall(pfSense)-----Cisco Switch(3524XL)----lan
I was thinking to solve this with vlans, but i'm not sure how to setup vlans on the modem.
Any thoughts, idea's?
Thanks in advance,
EriSan500
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm using RT v2.3
Access RT gui
:welcome:
Whether or not you can see the bridge modem is usually a function of the router. Some routers allow you to access the modem as long as it has a local IP address in a distinct range from the router ie 192.168.2.1 and 192.168.1.1.
Other routers such as a WRT54GL need to have a secondary IP address to be defined on their WAN port and a nat firewall rule applied to ensure that the network translation occurs. The following I've just coped from a post referring to dd-wrt firmware, I've seen similar for Hyperwrt and Tomato
I'm sure there will be similar for pfsense, possible using the "ip" command, -j MASQUERADE instead of the SNAT --to...

Code: Select all
ifconfig vlan1:0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o vlan1 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.1.2
