Maybe this might help me. I assume this might work using Toastman's builds? http://tomatousb.org/tut:setup-multiple-static-public-ips
Is there a way to create a vlan2:1 that can pull a dhcp ip address from the isp and then 1:1 nat with an internal ip.
My modem supports having more that one ip address as I can put a switch in between the modem and router and pull upto 8 ip address. However that are dynamic. Is there a way to have tomato pull more that one dynamic address so that I may setup 1:1 nat? I can use dyndns or similar services to update the ip's as necessary. I just can't seem to find the correct command line for dynamic. There are static ip tutorials every where. I am stumped.
I think you would have to create a script to receive the result of a manual call to udhcpc, something like I tried a few years ago in here http://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?threads/dual-dynamic-ip-wan-for-tomato.22831/
Thanks that is a great starting point. There is a part of the code that I am not sure about. Code: udhcpc -i vlan2 -s /jffs/wan2up.sh -H wrt54gs the "wrt54gs" where can I find out what I need for the asus rt n16 EDIT: -H hostname. I figured that one out. I want to get multiple dynamic ips on port 5. I don't want to use port 4 and 5. Will this script pull multple ips from one port. I can't find a part where it is polling port 4 in the script. Could a person potentially create wan2-wan8 with this script?
I don't even know if you need the hostname... I was expecting you would call udhcpc with vlan2:0 for example, the use the script to bring up the port with ifconfig, and then do some other fancy routing or iptables to make use of the new Ip received.
Thanks again. ran into another snag. udhcpc goes by mac address. So vlan2 and vlan2:0 have the same mac. Therefore udhcpc will only renew vlan2 and will not touch vlan2:0..... I have tried to change the mac of vlan2:0 with a new one. I get the error "ifconfig: SIOCSIFHWADDR: Device or resource busy" if I change vlan2 mac address the vlan2:0 changes simultaneously. Any ideas? I tried to create vlan2:0 with this: ifconfig vlan2:0 10.10.10.10 hw ether 08:00:69:02:01:FC but the mac address is overrided to match vlan2
Sorry I don't think there is any standard way to have multiple MAC addresses on a physical Ethernet connection, so the Broadcom Linux drivers probably don't support it. But since you could use a second port as its own vlan then use a switch to combine the outputs there may well be a way. I wonder how the MLPPP project did something similar to enable channel bonding on a single wan connection, I think they defined a secondary bridge br1 for the second connection?
hmmm just thinking out loud here. I am starting to get beyond my expertise now. Could we create br1, then add vlan2 and vlan3 to the same. Will vlan3 pull an ip from vlan2? OR is there a way to create an other virtual interface. ie: veth0, veth1 with a its own mac address. Then add to br1 that can pull an ip from vlan2? (might have to modify kernel) EDIT: ip link add veth is what I am thinking
I am still looking into this. I think there might be a way. If with the new virtual wireless you can create wl0.1 with it's own mac then we could create something for wlan0.1 or vlan0.1 with its own mac address. Then the udhcpc could request a second ip for the new mac address. My problem is that I don't know how wl0.1 was created..... or how to script this. I think that the wlan2up.sh is in the correct direction but first vlan2.0 needs to be created ie ifconfig vlan2:0 192.168.254.254 hw ether 00:00:00:00:00:01 but change the hw as per how the wl0.1 was done. Please help.
Wireless uses Broadcom wl commands, I don't see equivalent for the Ethernet ports, maybe need a patch to "robocfg" Can you do what you want in a Linux PC, this old post suggest not http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=47037 You definitely would need the Ethernet driver to communicate using different MAC addresses on the same physical port to fool the modem.
down at the very bottom it says that you may be able to request a new dhcp based on clientid. I cannot use udhcp -i vlan2:0 --clientid-none -c ED:ED:99:88:64:EE as the -c does not work. however is there a place where udhcpc reads the udhcpc clientid or mac address from?
