Cable Forum - View Single Post - Superhub Virgin Business Superhub now has Modem Mode

Just to explain why I need advice from the forum - the VMB line that our organisation is using has been commissioned through a 3rd party ISP who have responsibility to us for maintaining the service. Thus, although I was present at the install, I don't have the SH password.

I advised them to set firewall LOW and enable the VPN settings. Instead, they put the SH into modem mode, plugged it into their own RouterBoard that establishes its own L2TP tunnel through to their ISP infrastructure and onto the Internet.

It works but I'm awaiting from them confirmation as to whether or not they can now gain remote access to the SH. So another question to play on your kindness again:

In ROUTER Mode, if they were accessing the SH remotely (which they did), which IP address would they be using? The static on or the DHCP given one?

I expect to hear from them shortly as to what is going on, but they might be playing cards close to chest unless they can actually get into the SH using the DHCP allocated IP address that they may have discovered through data packet analysis.

Thanks in advance.
