Business Internet 100 (Arris BGW210) to connect to my firewall/router/ASA

I'm looking for how to configure the ArrisBGW210 AT&T-provided gateway to forward all packets (ICMP, TCP, UDP, GRE, ESP, AH, and L2TP protocols) for all five of my static IP addresses to a single firewall/router device.  Further, there should be no port filtering for ICMP, TCP and UDP.  My device will do any routing necessary, as well as all providing complete stateful connection monitoring for ICMP, TCP, and UDP.  I'm NOT looking for support for my connected devices, just a feed that looks like what I saw over a T1 leased-line circuit.

Hi!

 

I have a similar setup and it works fine.  I have a /27 block.


Set your own router external interface to a 192.168.1.x address, say 192.168.1.10


Set the modem's cascade router to enabled and set the field in the modem interface for cascade router address to 192.168.1.10.

 

Then, for the subnet network, you give it your CIDR block.  I wouldnt use a dhcp address for your external interface (say .253).  I'd hard code it to .10 or some number outside of the dhcp range.


That setup works for me.


Message me if you have any other questions.

Are you running a public mail server through this setup?  If so, how are you setting up your MX and A records?  What does http://whatismyip.com reporting as your address?

Hi!

 

Yes, I am running my own dns, email, web, and pbx servers using my AT&T assigned /27 block of IPv4s.

 

I had to contact ConnTech folks and pay  $50 to get them to unblock port 25.  The regular AT&T tech support (sic) folks can't do it.  They vaguely know about it.  ConnTech folks knew the procedure it took me about an hour to get it done.


For reverse records (you're gonna want to get AT&T to add reverse records for your block), go fill out a DNS request form on http://att.net/dns url and tell them what IP addresses you want to have associated with what FQDNs.
