IS-IT--Management
Hi all!
We use a cisco 800 series router to connect to our DSL line.
This router is managed by the ISP and i can not access the config myselve (Ok, I can do password recovery etc, but that would start a war between us and the ISP)
Annyhow, I Can ask for a copy of the configuration (dump from config) and we can request anny changes we want.
One of these requests is to make it possible to reach our WAN-port IP address from our LAN-side.
In other words; be able to navigate to our WAN IP address from our local LAN.
The reason for this is that we have a couple of servers running and I have to make shortcuts to them for our users. Byt now i have to make one link with the local IP address to use from our local LAN, and one for use outside our LAN with the WAN IP address.
I want to create only one link with the WAN IP address in it, and if I could navigate to that WAN IP from our local LAN, that would realy make things easy.
BUT the guys from the ISP say that this is inpossible, because the CISCO router blocks this kind of traffic... Is this true?
I think its perfectly possible by use of a static route.
What is correct??? Annybody that can help?
