VPN ip address change
Hello. I have two systems RBRE960 and RBR850. Both activated VPN service. The problem is that they both have save VPN IP/subnet 192.168.254.1, so I could not connect to both of them at the same time...
Systems had different ranges
192.168.5.0 and 192.168.10.0, but vpn on both 192.168.254.0. I will try to change dramatically to 10.10.x but I highly doubt it will change VPN ip
192.168.5.0 and 192.168.10.0, but vpn on both 192.168.254.0. I will try to change dramatically to 10.10.x but I highly doubt it will change VPN ip
It should
Was that a typo? (192.168.254.0 vs. 192.168.254.1)
Netgear changed IP subnets around from the original product line, where every device was in one subnet (primary & guest) and VPN clients were assigned from the next higher subnet starting at 2 (the router takes 1). The AX line introduced a separate subnet for the guest network. Are there even more subnets in the 960 product line? (IoT? 6E?) I could see an engineer wondering, "Where do I put VPN if (a) guest network is enabled, or (b) guest network is not enabled?"
Just an idle question: When more than one VPN connection is active, do the IP addresses go "up", i.e. 192.168.254.2, then 3, then 4?
- Yes, 192.168.254.2, then 3, then 4
Well it is not.
I have changed RBRE960 router lan to 10.10.10.0/24 and VPN address still 192.168.254.2
While second router RBR850 lan 192.168.5.0/24 with VPN address also 192.168.254.2
Am I missing something?
Thank you.
- Ok, then seems that 192.168.254.x is hard coded in Orbi.
Previously when the CLI interface (telnet was open in Orbi we could easily change this, but unfortunately now I don’t think there is anything we can do.What parameter would one set using a command line interface (telnet) to manage the IP subnet assigned to VPN connections?
- Idle curiosity. Would like to see what happens when I try it on a test system.
- I have heard rumors of a way to enable telnet on the AX products This might prove to be a solution to this specific circumstance.
So, as an update - I have official answer that VPN address could not be changed at the moment on AX Orbi.
They suggested to create feature request, so I did:
