<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body>Cory,<div>This is pretty much the question I had brought up after working with Tom I think when bringing up the Monroe hospital. All I was looking for was to expose the site's router (RB2011 in this case) to grab a public IP similar to a DSL or cable connection. Configuring a public subnet just to have an external IP on an internal router seems to add more administration than would be needed for 90% or more of the sites. Having the firewall configurations being done/updated on a normal basis out at the antenna/metal means you have to GO to the antenns to reaet the router if there are and config snags (been there/done that). Having the user-managed device be inside the building is a LOT more convenient when something goes TU and leaves the antenna router in a more static/stable condition. Please keep me in the loop for what becomes the preferred config for this as I expect to have most of my sites in this situation.</div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: "Cory (NQ1E)" <cory@nq1e.hm> <br>Date: 3/5/17 3:56 PM (GMT-08:00) <br>To: Puget Sound Data Ring <psdr@hamwan.org> <br>Cc: netops@hamwan.org <br>Subject: Re: [HamWAN PSDR] Metal 5SHPN Network Help <br><br><div dir="ltr">Hi Kyle,<div><br></div><div>It is possible to bridge your interfaces togtether so your internal router could request a DHCP lease from the sector.
