Cisco 857w - Difficult NAT/IP Situation

[Phillip Pacier]

Good afternoon, all.  I have been successfully using an 857W router in Pure RFC1483 Bridge Mode for some months.  I would really like to be able to get more of the functions of this router working, so I can get my "money's worth" and eliminate a few other pieces of equipment in the process.  I have been unsuccessful getting anything else to work.  Here is my ISP situation (addresses altered, of course): I have 8 non-contiguous IP addresses as part of a /24 block

11.22.33.99

11.22.33.166 through 11.22.33.172

Gateway = 11.22.33.1

If possible, I would like to hold 11.22.33.99 at the router and use it to NAT for DHCP (on the WLAN as well).  Then, I would like to have the rest of the block (11.22.33.166 through 11.22.33.172) bridged to the LAN ports for use in other parts of my network.  Is this possible to achieve?

Second, I would like to be able to use this router as an IPv6 tunnel endpoint, and DHCPv6 service.  I've read that it is not possible on this router, and I've also read that it is possible with the right IOS load, but I am not sure.  Comments?

I can provide config listings as necessary, though right now I have nothing set except a simple pure bridge configuration.  Thanks for your assistance!

Hi

What you need to do is setup a DMZ zone for all your other devices which you should be able to do through your router on SDM or through the routers web interface on the firewall configuration page.For internet usage you can use one IP address for your NAT.I have a similiar device at home 877w which i use as my home router.  I'm not sure about the IPv6 stuff sorry.

Forget the IPv6 stuff.  I'm aware now that the 857w is incorrectly advertised as supporting IPv6.

I think in order to accomplish my routing scheme, I need to employ IRB (Integrated Routing and Bridging) in some fashion, but I have followed several posts and I am not able to create a successful configuration.  The problem seems to be that certain commands I find in postings are not the same for my router, and I end up having to fend for myself anyway.  Here is what I have working so far, in pure RFC-1483 bridging mode, with DHCP working as well:

Again, I'm trying to have my public IP address of 11.22.33.99 end at the router, and be used by the DHCP server as its routing.  Then, I would like the rest of my public IP pool, which is 11.22.33.166-11.22.33.172 to be passed on to the FastEthernet bridge to be used directly with other machines.  Probably a crazy way of doing things, but I can't find a better solution to have all of my machines see each other on the LAN and have certain machines use certain public IP addresses.  I'm open to suggestion - thanks for any help!

OK I am getting close.  I think what I really am looking for is NAT.  I need to do a combination of static and dynamic NAT to accomplish my goal here.  What I cannot figure out is where to apply certain settings.  BVI1 should be the internal NAT, correct?  That seems fine, but what IP address do I assign for ATM0, which would be the outside nat?  Or do I have it all wrong?

Example static NATs:

ip nat inside source static 192.168.16.100 11.22.33.166
ip nat inside source static 192.168.16.101 11.22.33.167
ip nat inside source static 192.168.16.102 11.22.33.168

Dynamic NAT needs to route 11.22.33.99 WAN IP to every other address in the 192.168.16.0/24 block.  Posted below is my current working configuration, with pure RFC-1483 bridging and DHCP handled by the router.  Thanks for your help!
