John, Here's how I generally deploy my POPs: 10.10.22.0/27 30 addresses for the LAN 10.10.22.1 Gateway router 10.10.22.2 Max 01 10.10.22.3 Max 02 etc... Then, for the dialup pools, I do the following: Max 01, 96 ports: Static Route 10.10.22.32/27 to 127.0.0.2 ( 32 addresses to rj0) Static Route 10.10.22.64/26 to 127.0.0.2 ( 64 addresses to rj0) Pool#1 Start: 10.10.22.32 Pool#1 Count: 96 Max 02, 48 ports: Static Route 10.10.22.128/27 to 127.0.0.2 ( 32 addresses to rj0) Static Route 10.10.22.160/28 to 127.0.0.2 ( 16 addresses to rj0) Pool#1 Start: 10.10.22.128 Pool#1 Count: 46 Max 03, 48 Ports: 10.10.22.176/28 and 10.10.22.192/27 Here, you have a /27 left over. I would use these addresses for static IP assignments, web hosting, or customer subnets. Max 04, 96 Ports: 10.10.33.0/26 and 10.10.33.64/27 Max 05, 96 Ports: 10.10.33.96/27 and 10.10.33.128/26 Max 06, 48 Ports: 10.10.33.192/27 and 10.10.33.224/28 In this netblock, you end up with a /28 left over. again, this can be used for any number of other things. Or, you can combine it with the /27 above and deploy another 48 ports. For each additional max, I just keep giong on the subnets. I use combinations of /26, /27, or /28 subnets to get the right amount of IPs assigned to each max. With the way I've laid things out above, you can easily deploy 29 maxen without issue. If you actually reach that many, you'd probably be better off with a TNT or APX :) Also, I'd reccomend using OSPF over static routing, especially if you are issuing any static IP addresses. If you want to chat about this, feel free to drop a private message or give me a call. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 It's always a long day, 86400 doesn't fit into a short > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-ascend-users at max.bungi.com > [mailto:owner-ascend-users at max.bungi.com]On Behalf Of PowerNet > Sent: Friday, November 24, 2000 7:54 AM > To: ascend-users at bungi.com > Subject: (ASCEND) Assigning IP's > > > > We are using max 4K's and max 6K's. > We have some at a pop right now with a single class c. > We are adding more equipment to that location and another class c. > What is the be way to let the max's utilize the addresses? > We have never done this before. > > The max's have ip's of 1 network and need to assign ip's from 2 > different networks. > > Thanks, > John > > > ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ > To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com > To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq> > > ++ Ascend Users Mailing List ++ To unsubscribe: send unsubscribe to ascend-users-request at bungi.com To get FAQ'd: <http://www.nealis.net/ascend/faq>
