AM200 bridged Mode and RVS4000? + Thoughts

Hi guys and girls,

I thought to upgrade a network and a few ideas.

I currently have an AM200 modem connected to a switch that is sharing the bandwidth. This is not an optimal solution more like some features such as QoS are missing. The switch is also a speed of 10/100, even once, is more suitable for the backbone network.

I'm considering buying a RVS4000-UK to provide routing, security and QoS, with the added benefit of an implementation of VPN.

My questions are:

What people think of this Setup?

I heard that the WAN-TO-LAN throughput is disappointing. This doesn't affect me too much, but it has improved these firmware updates? I see that V1.3.1.0 is now available.

And above all,.

The AM200 modem can be set in Bridge mode, the RVS4000-UK supports PPPoA on the WAN port? I've seen screenshots with PPPoE but they come from an American site. I don't want the trouble of a double NAT!

See you soon

* UPDATE *.

After a few hours of research, I found that the AM200 has a new firmware that corrects the half-bridge mode. This allows to my modem handle the PPPoA authentication and pass an IP WAN to the router. I don't know what to set the good RVS4000 WAN page. Is there some kind of auto or static setting available? Anyone who has used the router in this way?

Hello Michael, one thing I'd like to know is that we have here in America work usually with the AM200 modem, but I need to know a bit more information on this topology, how many will connect to this VPN connection, what type of Internet connection you have, you are using laptops or desktop, win 7, vista or XP. and many more wonder.

Please call us so that we can help you on this question.

  • ASA 5510 can be configured as bridge mode and always send Netflow information to a collector

    ASA 5510 can be configured as bridge mode and always send Netflow information to a collector?

    We have a PIX connect internal network to the internet. Because PIX does not support NetFlow, as temporary solution, we thought to a 5510 ASA between the PIX and the internet gateway and configure as a bridge so that there will be no problem routing, and the SAA can always send Netflow information to a collector.

    Can someone please advise if this is possible?

    Thank you.

    I have not tried, but as a Netflow service policy should work in routed and transparent mode. Reference.

    Why don't you just replace the Pix with the ASA in routed mode?

  • Bridge mode... Router and TC

    My internet does not work if I have my xfinity on bridge mode router and my TC on mode bridge?

    Bridge on the modem/router and Bridge Mode on the TC will not work.

    Xfinity modem/router must be configured as a modem only simple only (in bridged Mode), and the TC must be configured in router Mode of DHCP and NAT

    or

    Xfinity modem/router must be configured normally as a modem/router, and the TC must be configured in Bridge Mode

  • Can I use a wireless bridge mode?

    I have problems with NAT Type 2. I want to disable the appearance of shaping of my Time Capsule and continue to use wi - fi. I thought I knew how to do this after selecting the bridge Mode and place all cables ethernet in making <>_, that the Wireless does not work, as in, it looks good in Airport utility, but I can't connect to my devices. I should add that there is a switch/hub between the TC and the modem cable. Why wi - fi does not work?

    We ask for the type of modem you have will determine whether or not you can have a switch between modem and Time Capsule.

  • Airport Extreme in Bridge Mode?  What did I want?

    I'm AT & T Uverse with Gigapower.  Until today I had 2 networks in my home, the AT & T router then the one I created on my Apple Airport Extreme.

    The tech told me that I can implement the airport just mirror or fill the AT & T network.  In this way all devices in the House are on the same network.  In the past, there are times where someone has been connected on the AT & T network, but wanted to print to the printer WiFi, which stood on the Airport network.  We must also be on the Airport network in order to access the iTunes account via the Remote App.  Only, it would be easier if everything was on the same network, and we did not have to worry about switching.

    I want to use Airport Extreme to give us better coverage downstairs in the House.  The AT & T router is in a closet on the floor.  The signal is not large in some rooms on the ground floor.

    How to make the Airport Bill as a Repeater for the AT & T network?  What is this called bypass surgery?

    Thanks in advance for your help and your big brain.

    Adam

    Yes. Plug your Airport Extreme in a spare Ethernet port on the router AT & T. open Airport utility, click on the Airport Extreme, select Edit, select network and the router Mode value: Off (Bridge Mode) and update. Your Airport Extreme is now part of the AT & T network.

    p.s. You need to connect a cable Cat 5 or Cat 6 Ethernet of the AT & T to the Airport Extreme router since they are in different places in the House.

  • Weird Bridge Mode

    I had successfully set up my ea4500 in before bridge mode.  Recently, I had to use it as my main router and reset it to do this.  When I tried again to configure it in bridge mode, I had a problem.  I put to the 'bridge' Mode and set the IP 192.168.1.2. subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and gateway IP to 192.168.1.1.  When I hit enter, I got an "invalid IP address".  After several times to tryinbg, I called Linksys that after having tried several other things, a technician told me also enter "192.168.1.1" in the slot to DNS1.  I've never had to do this before, but it seemed to work.

    Someone at - it a reason why I should do.

    The two links are "official" links  The link I posted suggests different ways to configure the bridge mode.  Maybe we are just differing by samantics.  Yes, the diagram show a laptop connected to the Ethernet, Lan-to-Wan port.  Howefver, is not the only way to use the router connected by a bridge once it is implemented.

    In the link you suggested the second to the last paragraph reads "setting the router in Bridge mode disables the guest access.  When cascading of routers, specifically using LAN to LAN connection, affecting the second router bridge Mode would not allow access for customers.  However, guest access is allowed if the connection type is LAN to WAN. »

    I do not use the guest access, is not important for me.  I am only using the accrss as a SSID wireless point in this part of the House.  I've installed and used the router bridge lan-to-lan mode in the past with good success.

  • WAG200G as bridge Mode does not wok

    I have a WAG200G Modem ADSL Annex A, with the latest firmware.

    I recently bought a Linksys E2000 to upgrade my wireless n, as well as to obtain 4-port gigabit Ethernet Ports for my SIN.

    The problem is, I put WAG200G "bridge" mode, and since I've provided in E2000, PPPoE, credentials (username and password), it does not, no Internet connection!

    Normally, with the WAG200G, PPPoE credential is defined as following (and it works)

    Type: PPPoE

    Multiplexing: LLC

    Virtual circuit: '0' for the VPI (0 ~ 255) and "33" for VCI (0 ~ 65535)

    Option "Keep Alive".

    E2000 router, PPPoE has no option above for me to choose. Field of user name and password only

    Can someone point me to the right direction?

    Thanks for any help

    You disconnect the connection on the WAG200G until you try to establish a new connection to the E2000? Some ISPS have strict policies allowing only one internet connection active at any time. In this case, if you do not remove the old connection your ISP "locks" your username for this connection. If you don't disconnect the connection should expire after a few minutes or hours maybe.

    Try this:

    Make the connection with the WAG200G PPPoE. Clear the option 'Keep-Alive '. And then in the State of the WAG200G page disconnect the connection. Click on 'Status' in the top menu to verify that the connection is disconnected. Now, reconfigure the WAG200G in Bridge mode, connect the E2000 and attempt to establish a connection between the E2000.

    You can also try to connect the computer directly to the WAG200G in Bridge mode and establish a PPPoE connection on the computer. I guess the computer will have the same trouble connecting under the E2000.

  • Unable to connect to eA4500 to Cisco in bridged mode

    I know that I have to put the new ip address and when I do I choose conect directly, he asks me a password, I put the password, I click to connect, and then it's right there waiting...

    What can I do? I have no wifi now! and it cannot deliver in DHCP mode.

    In Bridge mode, verify that you assign a STATIC IP address to the router first. In this way, with a specific set of IP, manage your settings to be a problem. If a powercycle does not let you return to the (at page of the router), do a RESET. Reconfigure your router settings and do not forget to assign a STATIC IP to your EA4500 address.

  • PIX 501 with Actiontec Q1000 in Bridge mode

    I have an Actiontec Q1000 Qwest racetrack with 8 static IP addresses.  I want to put the Actiontec in bridge mode and connect the PIX.  I have configured the PIX as follows, but there are some things that are unclear to me:

    IP address outside pppoe setroute

    VPDN group chi request dialout pppoe

    VPDN group chi localname xxxxx

    VPDN group chi ppp authentication pap

    VPDN username password xxxxx xxxxx

    Qwest gave me a block of 8 IP, and they either of them specified as a gateway address.

    This IP will get the external interface?

    Can I use setroute with Qwest, or I need to specify a default route instead?

    Can I assign the gateway address to the external interface of the PIX?

    My ultimate goal is to be able to configure the PIX to allow client software Cisco VPN incoming connections.

    Thank you very much for all your comments.

    P.S. I can't just try, because I am in California and I need to set it up and send it to Utah, where I there will have access via SSH.

    The ip address will be given by provide it during the negotiation of PPPoE.

    You should be able to use the road together, I would expect Qwest provide the default route in PPPoE.

    I should get it by the ISP automatically.

  • App of Smart Wi - Fi and Guest Access + Bridge Mode

    Hello!
    I put my WRT1900AC as in Bridge Mode Access Point.
    Everything is OK. But I identify some things not usable, when my router is in Bridge Mode. Such a thing is the creation of a guest for Wifi/guest access account. The Linksys App Smart WiFi offering however, but it does not work. When I put the guest access 'ON' it just stay naturally 'OFF '.
    My question: is it supposed to be the case, or it may become in the future renewed with the software?
    At the same time, I can change a lot of things with this Smart WiFi App, when my WRT1900AC is in Bridge Mode. Proven stuff: Wifi channel number change and change the filter MAC they work correctly.

    With all the Smart Wifi router when the clipping comments wireless value is disabled, because the guest network depends on DHCP for IP subnet isolation.

    Is there a way to keep all the features of the WRT1900AC and the route of a primary network. It is an advanced configuration, because you must configure a static route in your main router and configure the WRT1900AC as a router not gateway.

  • Connect and 4200 in Bridge mode

  • Time Warner failure: replace BRIDGE MODE DHCP/NAT!

    If I woke up this morning to find that my Time Warner Cable internet has exploded the line last night. According to my AirPort Utility application, my Airport was functioning normally, but it was not connected to the Internet. So I restarted the thought of the airport that could solve. Not only it does not solve my problem, it made it worse:

    Now, he pointed out that the AirPort base station has a private IP address and suggest that change my Airport to use DHCP and NAT mode.

    Now keep in mind, it has been working perfectly for months with the current settings. Suddenly, he must be in Bridge mode after reboot it?

    I had to leave for work so I didn't have the time to reset the modem from Time Warner Cable. However, I suppose that I should not change the settings on my AirPort at the moment since it worked perfectly before?

    I have the current model AirPort Extreme and configured automatically, after several attempts of frustrating with the same modem from Time Warner Cable, which I am currently using, of course it takes hours to acquire a signal of Time Warner Cable.  It has been working perfectly since.

    This should resolve on its own once the cable connection is restored, or is it that this means that I have to completely reset my AirPort Extreme and implemented from scratch with the cable modem I did originally?

    It would help us if you could provide the serial number and model of your modem.

    IF... the modem normally gives you a public IP... so the parameter DHCP and NAT on the most convenient airport would be correct.

    IF... the modem... which normally provides a public IP address was not reset, then it could actually send a 'private' IP address... probably something in the 192.168.x.x range... that is not correct.

    Turning off the modem by pulling on the power cord to the back of the unit

    Unplug the co - ax cable and Ethernet cable

    Let off for at least 30 minutes the modem... 60 would be better.

    Turning off AirPort Extreme as well

    After turn off modem, reconnect things

    Start the modem and let it run for at least 10 minutes by itself

    Then, turn on the AirPort Extreme.

  • The most convenient airport in Bridge mode lose packets

    Hi all.

    I have an airport extreme with the version of firmware 7.7.7 (later at the time of this announcement). My modem ISP settings are blocked and it is already fixed to make routing/DHCP/Nat, so I use my airport extreme in Bridge mode to avoid the double NAT (it connects connects to the ISP with DHCP router).

    Both the ISP modem/router and Airport extreme are creating two different 'wifi networks", which belong to the same network (192.168.0.0).

    I can enter each of this Wifi network, obtain an IP address in both cases and start using the internet.

    However, when I use it on my ISP router, everything works perfectly, however, when I use it on the airport network, it fails from time to time.

    If I start ping an external IP address (e.g.: 8.8.8.8), I've never lost a packet on the network of the ISP router, but I lose packets often on the airport extreme network.

    Also, if I ping the ISP of the airport extreme network router I lose packets from time to time. Sometimes also vice versa. I never lose packets when ping the router whose network providing I'm connected to.

    All the settings on the airport extreme values by default (except that I created an additional network of 5 GHz).

    Can you give us some advice as how to solve the problem? I read somewhere that disable ipv6 connection sharing could solve the problem, but it didn't. Thanks in advance

    If you have the Ethernet cable from your ISP router that is connected to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port, unplug the cable and plug it into one of the three ports LAN <>- on the airport to see if this will help with the issue.

    However, if you have the Ethernet cable from the ISP router already connected to one of the LAN <>- port on the AirPort Extreme, then you'll need to reset the AirPort Extreme back to default settings and then set up again.

    If you have any further questions, the Airport extreme is defective and must be replaced.

  • How can I configure my Airport Extreme in Bridge mode (use the 3rd party router)?

    Data sheet:

    Airport Extreme - v 7.7.7

    Luma Surround Wifi 8

    I recently bought a wifi (luminance) surround system.  It comes with 3 routers that you place around your home.  Unfortunately I still have stains died in my house I'm looking to add my Airport Extreme (AE) to Luma network.  Is it as simple as plug the AE to the network (via Ethernet) and the bridge mode selection in the configuration of EI?

    I can see the AE of my iMac, and it is green.  How do you know that actually extend the wifi of my router Luma range?

    I searched the forum and all messages dealing with this are several years old.

    Thanks for your time...

    Basically, you want to create a mobile network with your Luma and AirPort Extreme routers. As you said, the extreme would need to be connected to the luminance by Ethernet and reconfigured as a bridge.

    In addition, the following are also required on the extreme:

    • Wireless mode: create a wireless network
    • The network name must be the same as that used by the Luma.
    • The type of wireless security and the password must match that of the luminance as well.

    To 'know' that the extreme extends the network of Luma, simply consult the BSSID value in the drop-down of OS X Wi - Fi. It must match the ID of the airport on your base station. Note: You must hold down the option key before clicking on the icon of the free Wi - Fi connection.
