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 two-ethernet Net NAT, we will also need IP Address and Netmask information for the NAT interface that will be attached to the external "Public" network. In addition, we will need the IP Address of the router on the external network that will be the default gateway to the Internet.

Refer to the picture at left to help envision this.
