Comware

I am a complete novice when it comes to this router. What I am trying to do is connect it via a single ADSL line then connect it to another router. This router to be totally exposed on all Ports (Its a Checkpoint Edge).

I cannot get the HP router to route!
I get the ADSL line to come up
I get connected via the ethernet port (direct cable connection)
But nothing routes. I enclose my current configuration.

hmm...i don't see an ip addr on the atm interface...did i miss something?

cheers...jeff

and i also don't see an ip addr on the adsl line (sorry i didn't send this as 1 reply)...

I said I am a Novice when it comes 7102dl router! We bought a package from BT (our ISP) and they gave us:
Router Adddress x.x.x.136
Default Gateway x.x.x.142

Useable ip range x.x.x.137 to x.x.x.141
Subnet of 255.255.255.248

The 7102dl won't allow me to enter x.x.x.136 with a subnet of 255.255.255.248 (says invalid subnet)

So I specified no ip and the status of the ADSL connection says its all up: what next?

ah...

the ip addr you need to enter would be x.x.x.137 255.255.255.248 (1st usable addr in the subnet)

in an ip subnet, the 1st addr (.136) is the "network" and the last addr (.143) is the "broadcast"...meaning you don't actually use the 1st or last addr...

it appears that the ISP is using .142 on their end, so you can use any of the addr from .137 thru .141...


the adsl connection indicating its up is probably just the adsl line protocol sync'ing...but no ip yet...

i'm surprised that BT didn't provide the router already configured or at least a template for you...


btw, working with ip addr its sometimes handy to have a subnet calculator :-)

here's a link for some handy network tools:

www.thenetworktoolbox.com no warranty, your mileage may vary :-)

also, check out this procurve link for adsl config examples, maybe they will assist as well:

hth...jeff

But...I currently have the ADSL line configured with a BT Business-Hub and it doesn't use an ip-address. I still have the five available- which was why I thought that I didn't have use one. Do I have use one on the router- it cannot be x.x.x.137 because thats my end of a VPN.

Sorry but I have just done an analysis of the BT-Business Hub & it does get its address via DHCP - so I'll try that and figers crossed

I have created the configuration to have a DHCP address from BT and it still does not route. I am exasperated. All I need from the device is the adsl connection and to route everything to my 10.0.0.1 network and vice-versa: I foolishly thought that would be simple.

I enclose the running config
