Re: Business SuperHub Question

Oh right that's interesting I was told in order to use my draytek router I would need a superhub that has "Multi-NAT"

Draytek email support said I wouldn't be able to do the following

1. Assign a public ip address to the super hub
2. Assign a public ip address to the draytek router
3. Assign public ip addresses to LAN clients connected to my draytek router

Quote:
(from an email) The above would not work, as the Virgin Hub cannot be turned into a Modem. *If Virgin can provide a device that allows for Multi-NAT function then it would be possible.

In multiple IP mode the Superhub performs no NAT at all. It just routes all of the IP addresses you have through to the LAN side.

However if you have a router behind the Superhub then you can achieve this.

I do it now with a Cisco 892W behind a business superhub in NO NAT mode as I have a routed subnet from VMB.
I'm planning on having a simerler setup to yours except my router is a draytek not a Cisco router

If I take the 5 ip option would I still be able to do what I said wasn't possible ( see my post above) ?

So does the superhub not perform NAT when multiple public ip addresses are used ?
