I'm writing to you because I can't solve a problem with a client.
My client has an infrastructure with the following characteristics:
2 ISP routers
1 fortigate firewall
1 dedicated router that broadcasts a UCOPIA US250 guest portal
65 Zyxel switches (1900 - 24) and one 4600 switch (4x 24 ports for the core network)
250 WIFI LIGOWAZE NFT terminals
80 VLANs
I do not manage the first 3 equipments, it is another provider.
Today, I have to pass the VLAN dedicated to the guests.
The other provider has set up the FORTIGATE to broadcast the DHCP and the associated VLAN on the DMZ port to the OUT port of the UCOPIA.
I have to broadcast VLAN 420 from the IN port to the ZYXEL switch and to the LIGOWAVE terminals.
However, when I am connected to the UCOPIA on the IN port, I manage to get the desired IP and to reach the portal, but when I test on the ZYXEL switch, it is impossible to get the dedicated VLAN.
I put myself on another port of the ZYXEL, I TAG the VLAN in question. I have modified the ID of my VLAN on my computer in DHCP that does not work. I tried to use static IP but still nothing. I can't even ping the gateway.
The ZYXEL port to which the UCOPIA is connected is TAGGED on the dedicated VLAN. I have also tried Untagged and excluding all the other VLANs but it is impossible to get this network.
Do you have any other ideas for me?
Here, you can see my diagram network:
MyNetwork
I resolved my problem.
I configured Switch like that:
Untagged dedicated VLAN
But i forgot to change the PVID VLAN.
I changed it and that work !
Imagine this as a diagram.
Radiowave link-->Mikrotik-->(ADSL Router)-->(Configured with "Bridge PPPoE Frames Between WAN and Local Ports" Enabled)
I tried to forward random ports on ADSL modem but i always fail to do so. canyouseeme alway show error. My public ip scan shows 4 ports
3/tcp filtered domain
1723/tcp open pptp
2000/tcp open cisco-sccp
8291/tcp open unknown
these ports are not opened in my ADSL router.
I think the issue is with Mikrotik please guide me
In Winbox:
IP -> Firewall, Select NAT Tab
Click + to create new rule.
Select dstnat for chain
Select the interface that contains your public IP address (IP -> Addresses to see that, likely your pppoe connection interface)
select the protocol (typically tcp or udp)
select the Dst. Port (the port you want to forward coming in)
Go to the Action Tab
select dst-nat for action
fill in the to addresses (local ip in the network you are forwarding to)
fill in the to ports (port you want to forward to, usually the same as your Dst. Port)
Click OK
Repeat for other ports.
Cheers.
I use tor proxy and i set the tunnel port to 192.168.1.2:9050.
I also set my router dhcp that give 192.168.1.2 to my pc
but my problem is that sometimes I use another router or my phone hotspot and they give my pc anothre ip (like 192.168.43.164/24) . I can't set their dhcp. so tor doesn't work.
Is there any way to always get the same ip ?
Or Is there any way to refer my wifi ip (something like localhost that refer to 127.0.0.1) to set in tor?
Your phone hotspot gives you a different DHCP's IP because it is threated as another network bridging one network (your PC) to another one (current network connected on your phone).
If you are using wireless hotspot and connecting to your phone's network on wi-fi, that is not possible because tethering IP that is provided for your phone router to use DHCP services is hardcoded in com.android.server.connectivity.Tethering, unless you have root access privileges.
And that it the reason to your phone routing service (USB Bridged or Wi-Fi Hostpot) gives you always an 192.168.42.X IP address.
If you are using Android, you can get more details in this thread on Android Enthusiasts in Stack Exchange:

Hello Everyone!
I want to know that is there any way to access a photocopier machine which is connected to a computer through Ethernet wire and that computer is connected to my WiFi network?
P.S: What if I don't know the IP assigned to that Photocopier machine?
If the wireless network is part of the wired network you should have any problem reaching the photocopier.
If you don't know the IP address, you can reach it by host name if the DHCP and DNS are working properly. If you are on an Active Directory infrastructure and DHCP and DNS are integrated it should be transparent.
If you are on your home with a "home" router they usually do the hostname to IP resolve (DNS).
You can nslookup hostname in your machine to see if your dns is resolving the ip address. you can also ping hostname or ping ip address to test that you can reach the desired host. Some hosts block ping (ICMP) requests, please note that ping is ping does not respond is not a definitive solution.
Please note that in your home router you should use your router or default gateway to be the DNS also, and then add the google public DNS or your ISP.
Also when connecting the access point to an existing network you may have 2 DHCP servers providing IP addresses to hosts, you should disable DHCP on the Access Point and connect the AP to the network using the switch port and not the WAN port (the WAN port will try to do NAT and assign a different set of IP addresses).
If I have two internal computers connecting to the same external IP address through a NAT router, how is the router able to get the traffic to the correct internal computer? It is my understanding that NAT forwards incoming packets to the computer that recently sent outgoing packets to the [incoming packet's] sender's IP address. Since both computers are sending to the same address, does the router forward the packet to both? If that is the case, is it the responsibility of the client software to determine which packets are relevant?
Is it possible if both computers are attempting to connect to the same port?
When you open a socket, you need to address a port of the destination system and open a conjugate listening port on your own system to receive any response. You have to send the destination system your listening port.
Having more than one system using the same modem
When you start a web browser, and go to www.google.com:80, your browser obtains/searches for a free non-system conjugate port from the system for listening. Let us say, the conjugate port is 10000. The listener port is for receiving the http stream back from google.
Then your kid sitting next to you incidentally also browses www.google.com:80 and his/her google session of the play station or xbox-whatever also incidentally is assigned conjugate port 10000.
Both of you are sitting behind a cable modem, and behind the cable modem is your wireless router. And both of your systems are behind the wireless router - All sitting in that sequence, network topology-wise.
To prevent port address collision on the router/modem
Let us say that your cable company DHCP assigns your modem ip4 adress 72.72.72.72. But your wireless router DHCP assigns 192.168.0.10 to your system and to 192.168.0.11 to your kid's system.
When the frame carrying the information of your listener ports passes thro your NAT router, it would translate either one or both listening- ports. Let's say port 15000 for your page and port 16000 for your kid's page.
Your wireless router then sends your requests to google server as coming from 72.72.72.72:15000 and 72.72.72.72:16000.
The google server then responds individually to 72.72.72.72:15000 and 72.72.72.72:16000 and when you wireless router encounters the response, it reaches into the mapping that it has stored and translates 72.72.72.72:15000 to 192.168.0.10:10000 to reach your system but translates 72.72.72.72:16000 to 192.168.0.11:10000 to reach your kid's system.
Running web/game/ftp/etc servers
But what if you have a web server or an ftp server running on your system. What if you have two systems and both have a web server and both web servers are listening on port 80?
Let us say the local ip addresses registered/assigned with your wireless router of your first web server system is 192.168.0.30 and your second web server system is 192.168.0.40.
The wireless router would have a configuration web page usually by default 192.168.0.1:80, unless you changed it. There would be a tab to on the page where you could define/reserve application port mappings.
You could register with your wireless router to reserve the mapping
192.168.0.30:80 => outgoing port 8080
192.168.0.40:80 => outgoing port 8088
So that you have to phone your friends your web/game servers are addressable through
72.72.72.72:8080 and 72.72.72.72:8088 respectively,
where the wireless router would preclude its port 8080 and 8088 from its own dynamic NAT usage.
Of course, 72.72.72.72 is as good as only before your ISP DHCP decide to renew the ip4 address of your modem to say, 72.72.90.200. After which you would have to phone/email your friends and say
Hey, the servers' addresses have changed to 72.72.90.200:8080 and 72.72.90.200:8088 respectively. Or you could subscribe to dynamic dns (ddns) service to use a named domain where the ddns service will need you to install a simple heartbeat utility on your system to help them monitor the address variation. DDNS translation is a separate issue/strategy.
NAT modems
Newer ISP contracts supply you with a modem that has NAT. If so, you have to switch off either the one on your modem or the one on your wireless router. You should not use both - what's the point in translating twice because NAT is simply to prevent address collision. When you switch off NAT from your wireless router, it can operate as a hub switch and not a router anymore so that you could connect it to the modem using one of its LAN socket instead of thro its WAN socket.
The router manages "source" ports that are separate for each computer. While you may be connecting to port 80 on the "destination" the router may assign the source port to some high number port.
Wikipedia sums it up as
Network address translation involves
re-writing the source and/or
destination IP addresses and usually
also the TCP/UDP port numbers of IP
packets as they pass through the NAT.
Checksums (both IP and TCP/UDP) must
also be rewritten to take account of
the changes.
Already good answers are provided, but here is another example:
HOST A addr HOST B addr
10.1.0.2:4040 10.1.0.3:4040
-----------------------------------------
NAT 200.50.50.28:4040 200.50.50.28:4041 (what external host sees)
200.50.50.28 is router's global (internet) IP.
Every port number is unique in the NAT table. And of course the router does all the dirty job of modifying the source and destination addresses transparently.
It uses different ports for incoming external traffic, and the NAT then routes the packets on one port to one internal IP address, and the packets from the other port to the other internal IP address... The iniital request from each internal computer, when it goes through the NAT on the way out, establishes which port will be used for the incoming traffic from the external ip address, and it tells the external server what port to send it's traffic back on for that connection.
RFC3022 provides a lot of information on how this works
Since public facing or external IP Address that was given by Internet Service Provider (ISP) has been discussed, I would like to add on this.
You can ask your ISP to have your public IP Address not change. It will become static, so that you do not have to inform your friends to change the IP Address if they want to access your server inside your Network Address Translator (NAT).
As of this writing, static IP Address cost around 100 bucks. Most of the ISP they call it business account.
You can determine your public facing IP Address by googling "what is my ip address".
