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! Pierre VE2PF _________________________________________ 44Net mailing list 44Net(a)mailman.ampr.org https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/listinfo/44net
