A bit off-track, but can anyone using Redback stuff give a quick yes/no to this:
Can the Redback, on a 1483-bridged customer where the pvc is known do dhcp based on the pvc the dhcp request comes from? What other trickery does it do if you are dead-set against PPPoE but still need some authentication and enforcement of addresses? To my knowledge, no: Redback is a transparent device, it'll just forward your DHCP request along to the ISP.
When you find the holy grail [100% reliable authentication of rfc1483-bridged customers], please let all of us know ;)
Alex - Does VZ do one pvc/customer or group hundreds together on one pvc still?
I'm the other Alex, but the answer is the latter (one pvc per gateway router/VLAN combination). -- Alex Pilosov | http://www.acedsl.com/home.html CTO - Acecape, Inc. | AceDSL:The best ADSL in the world 325 W 38 St. Suite 1005 | (Stealth Marketing Works! :) New York, NY 10018 |
