IP Reservation for PPTP client

[VACHEV]

@TK_Liew

Hi Fred,

Can I suggest to use Untag Vlan for Management purpose and PPTP users?

Firewall blocking just between Tag Vlans. Therefore you can access devices in all Tag Vlans, remote SpeedFusion networks from Untag Vlan.

Hi TK Liew,

is there a way to do DHCP reservations for PPPtP clients on the Peplink?

I have tried with a local Windows DHCP Server but no luck there.

Any ideas how to assign specific IP in the untagged LAN to a specific user ?

Thanks

Hi,

You can’t reserve IP for PPTP client. I will move your post to feature request.

Thank you.

+1 for this feature.

I would rather have Peplink’s finite engineering resources focus on VLAN-per-port. I expect this would automatically solve the PPTP problem — for me anyway — because I could then create a tagged VLAN for each of my hardware ports and PPTP sessions would thus be implicitly allocated within the untagged VLAN, yes? And then I could exert control over PPTP sessions without resorting to additional router hardware hanging off my pretty, pretty Balance.

(Later note: Internal Network Firewall Rules might be useful here. I haven’t figured them out yet, but…)

Hi,

We target to support Port based Vlan on v6.3. Stay tuned.

The more I use the newish L2TP support the more I understand why it would be valuable to have DHCP reservations for L2TP (as well as PPTP). Among other things, I could then assign DNS host names to the IP addresses thus reserved, which would make it easier for folks to talk to each other. Of course, what I would like to see even more is better support for DNS-SD, but I understand that’s a substantially taller order, and DHCP reservations would likely have uses in addition to service discovery.

+1 for L2TP User Firewalling (on a user basis, not network basis)
