Use RFC 1597 Addresses

A wonderful benefit to using the RFC 1597 addresses, is that you may change your ISP as often as you like, without having to make any configuration changes to your internal network! Imagine the savings in effort! You may change to a different ISP just to see how they are simply by changing the dialer script on the NAT.

Information We Will Need

We will soon be giving you the RFC 1597 Addresses for your network, and for the ethernet interface on the NAT. We encourage you to adopt some standard for assigning IP Addresses within your organization. This will really help in the future.

Since we are building a Dial NAT, we will also need to construct a dialer script with the information necessary to let the NAT phone your ISP and make a PPP connection for you. We will need the phone number that your NAT will need to dial, as well as the account (user ID) and the password. The phone number should include any prefixes necessary, such as 9 to get an outside line, or *70 to block call waiting. If you are already doing Dial PPP to the account you will use, you should be able to get this information from an existing dialer script.

Here We Go!
