Re: Help - How to reconfigure AT IP Pool?
Sorry, I missed where you said you had set the AT to 0.1.
Does a PC plugged into the AT get a 0.* IP address?
It is best if only one router has DHCP active. It is possible to set the DHCP ranges so they don't overlap, but that is asking for trouble on the AT. The AT handling of DHCP is quirky.
Make sure the routers are connected LAN port to LAN port, not LAN port to WAN port.
I believe other have has success putting the AT in bridge mode, bypassing the NAT table on the AT. Some have created VLANs. There are a number of threads on the subject. Whether this works seems to be dependent on the both the rev. level of the router, and the firmware version. There have also been issues with bricking the AT and other broken functionality when VZ pushed buggy firmware. So make sure you have a firmware image and matching configuration file saved to rollback to if you need to.
I don't know how the cat-5 is terminated inside the ONT. I suspect it is a 110 style punch-down. My installer ran CAT-5 from the ONT to my service closet, where he installed a surface mount RJ45, and a short patch cable from that to the AT. In any case, I doubt VZ wants customers messing inside the ONT.
It is also possible to run put the AT and your own router on separate subnets. You just need to do setup static routes between the two. A no-brainer on most routers, not necessarily intuitive on the AT. |
