Access 8800NL in Bridge Mode from LAN?

Post by madpaqs »

Hi folks,

I have a 2x Bipac 8800NLs each on VDSL2 80/20 hooked into a Prosafe SRX5308 quad wan vpn firewall.

I need the modems in bridge mode to pass the WAN IP to the firewall, this works fine, however I would also like to access the modems from the LAN to get line stats.

My network is setup as follows:-

LAN 192.168.70.0/24
8800NL #1 192.168.3.1
8800NL #2 192.168.4.1

Before on ADSL with older bipac modems in half bridge mode I could add a static route in the SRX routing table using the WAN IP address as the gateway to the bipac IP and could access them fine, this doesn't seem to work with the 8800NL.

I have found 2 other methods of connecting to the 8800NL, one is to connect direct to an 8800NL LAN port and use a static IP on a laptop, eg 192.168.3.3 or 192.168.4.3
Also I can switch on the 8800NL wifi and connect again using a manual static IP setup over wifi.

I would really like to be able to connect direct from the 192.168.70.0 LAN though, any way to do this?

TIA

Not that I am aware, as the router is in bridge mode
