Hi!
First I want to thanks the ampr group and especially G1FEF for providing me a /24 that I
am in the process of being bgp annonce with a vultr vps in NJ.
If what I am about to talk dont fit in the group, please let me know, I will move this
else where.
I am in no mean a network guru but I understand concept pretty easily. SO I am planning
my /24 as this.
the VPS at vultr will use Bird to annonce the route, I will use only the default route
provided by vultr.
From there I created a dummy interface that have my /24
as its IP.
I then want to make a VPN server to distribute the net and ip to remote
site I have that use a mix of hardwired and wireless connection. The routers are all
edgerouter-x from ubiquity they will all eventually be interconnected by 2 sources, the
hardwired provided by many ISP and the wireless that I am building as a redundancy. If one
sources fail, the router will fall back to the other link. the prefered links will always
be the hardwired, the wireless is the backup. (some of the links are 40 Km long, but most
are 5-6 Km and the smallest is under 1 Km.)
From those edge router I will have connection to the
vpn and every router will have a dhcp server that will serve a part or the /24 like 16 ip
for each site. (I have 3 site right now) and I will have fixed IP at each site for the
repeaters and aprs gateways.
Now the configuration of the vpn is my first problem. should I have the vpn server
listening on the ipv4 address of vultr or should I made it listen to the dummy interface?
I think this is juste the beginning of my quest!
