while we're speaking of numbered/unnumbered,
how can one do unnumbered/interface-based routing on the pipelines?
such that I don't care what the remote IP is (say a pool of MAXen),
and all I know is that I want to send my default route to
connection profile XYZ and that whatever router is at the other end
of that connection will accept my packets.
I've got an hour to kill, lets try...
I'm using software b2.p75 rev 5.1A...
what if I leave the LAN address and IF address blank
and put in a WAN alias, will that do it?
OK, with WAN alias=10.10.10.10
and default route -> 10.10.10.10
I'm able to dial and login (using PAP)
packets are flowing, traceroutes look good,
I login on the remote MAX 4000 (bik.m40 rev 5.0Ap24)
and try to "show users" and get a CRASH,
maybe it was just a fluke it HAS been up for 5 whole days now.
I'll try agian on a different MAX... looks good,
the remote sees my real IP address and routes to me just fine,
local pipeline's route table points default -> 10.10.10.10 -> wan2
and shows no sign of the real IP address of the remote.
tested and working on MAX 1800's and MAX 40xx's as remotes
from two different POPs, and all MAXen talk OSPF,
my connection profile is in RADIUS with a /26 block routed down.
to switch between POPs/MAXen, all I had to change was the phone number!
this really works! somebody add this to the FAQ!
(no more Ascend-PPP-Address for me!)
