Routers for multiple static IPs?

Not too sure on this one.
Basically we are getting in a separate DSL line at work and expect to be
able to get an allocation from the ISP concerned. So far every connection I
have set up is either NAT or single user modem. Does anone have any
recommendations on routers that can handle doing bridging for more than one
IP and preferrably use a third for NAT at the same time?

My impression is that the most flexible ADSL routers for this type of
operation are the Westell routers - either the 6100, or, if you want a
few more features, the 7400.

These routers have the ability to pass through public IP addresses to
the LAN and, seemingly, carry out NAT at the same time. In my case, I
just want to pass through all the public IP addresses to my ZyWALL 35
and I'll probably turn the Westell's firewall off completely.


I'm probably going to order a 7400 tomorrow (the ADSL line has been
ordered today), as the 7400 has a few more features - for example, the
line diagnostics are on the web GUI.


There's a review of the 6100 at
<http://www.adslguide.org.uk/hardware...ll-proline-600
0.asp> (to me it sounds like the 6100 is what is reviewed, as the 6000
is just a bridge).

The manuals are available at:
<http://www.westell.com/content/sales/7400.pdf> for the 7400 and
<http://www.westell.com/content/sales/liteline.pdf> for the 6100 (well -
it'll do - it seems more common to find the Proline 6100 available in
the UK, which has more RAM and supports Westell's remote management
technology, but is otherwise the same piece of kit).

Search for "public LAN" (without the quotes) for the IP pass through
mode I'm thinking of - and make sure that the described features will
cover your network.


<http://www.broadbandstore.co.uk> has both products in their range. I
rang them earlier - they were hoping to get 200 7400s on Thursday and
said they now had 6100s in stock ready to supply.


If you get a 6100, make sure you install the .77 firmware if it's not
already installed - broadbandstore.co.uk can let you have the file.

Draytek series 2600 series or 2900 series for a bit more CPU power. and more
features.

Most routers have this, it's just a No NAT facility and then you assign
IPs to machines
behind that.

Avoid DLINK 300G+/DLINK 300T. It doesn't quite work for multiple IP's
without playing about with static routes and ARP. I wouldn't know where to
start getting it to work with Windows.

Cheers for these, they actually seem ideal with the "Turbo TCP" thing.
When I bought my personal router I was looking for something with ack
prioritising but couldn't find it.

I'm just wondering if the 7400 is worth the extra money..

I've been using a 2600 in this configuration for a couple of years
now, with no problems.

Stroller.
