Bauman) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.bsdi.misc Subject: dialin ppp subnets Date: 25 May 1996 14:23:13 GMT Organization: InterGlobal Communications Lines: 28 Message-ID: <4o754h$hl4@moon.igcom.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: terra.igcom.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I am curious as to how to setup a dialup PPP account on a different subnet than what the bsd/os machine is currently using. My bsd/os machine is currently using a netmask of 255.255.255.192 which of course supplies 62 IPs on 2 subnets. I have a dialin user that wants to utilize multiple IPs for his small network, so I have decided to allocate a subnet on a different IP block. Most likely I will give him a subnet with a mask of 255.255.255.248 since that will give him 6 IPs for his network. The question is, am I doing this correct? route add -net 1.1.1.0 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.0 of course being the new ip block (class C) and 1.1.1.1 being the bsd/os machines ethernet interface's IP address. Then the ppp.sys entry I belive should be: Puser:di:if=inet 1.1.1.1 206.103.209.248 netmask 255.255.255.248:in#100: This would give the PPP user the IP block of .248--->.254 if I am not correct. Would this type of configuration work properly? DB
