Try setting a fake IP address in the WAN address field in the connection profile and maybe the same address as a def.route in static routes. I've seen this problem connecting to Cisco RASes, with MAXes this trick is not needed :) Nikolay Stamboliev From: Ken Kirchner <kenk at shreve.net> Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 12:27:25 -0500 (CDT) Subject: (ASCEND) Pipeline P130 NAT Config I'm having extreme difficulty getting a P130 (firmware v6.1.44) to do NAT. The unit is connected to a Cisco 7000 using PPP encapsulation and unnumbered interfaces. If I just set the router up and route it the /30 I've assigned to it, it works just beautifully. I can ping out, ping both ends of the link, telnet into the P130 from far away, etc... life is good. The instant I enable NAT things go to hell very quickly. The default route for some unknown reason points to the wanidle interface and I suddenty cannot route packets anywhere. I turn off NAT and things are peachy again. What the heck is up with this thing? I had a similar problem with a SuperPipe awhile back that somehow was fixed with a code upgrade (beta code I might add), but that situation was a bit different in a few key ways (was using No NAT Net feature) and I cant believe that this extremely basic NAT configuration would not work in something as old as 6.1.44. Is the unnumbered interface causing my problem? I have already fsave/fclear/nvramclear/reset'ed the box and started from scratch. I even downgraded to a 6.0.13 revision with no improvement. Anyone have a config file that does NAT on an unnumbered P130 using the T1 interface they would be willing to share? - -- Ken Kirchner : kenk at shreve.net Assistant System Administrator : Tel (318)222-2638 ShreveNet, Inc. : Fax (318)213-2650 ShreveNet - Your Premium Internet Service Provider! ++ 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>
