I would like to combine private and public addressing to PPPoE clients from a Cisco BRAS.

Do you think is possible to do it using the same virtual template?

If I define ip nat inside in the PPPoE enabled interface and an access-list that will match only the addresses want, would this impact clients with public IP address?

I am sure that using different templates would work, but I would like to try using the same VLAN and not to separate some clients in a different VLAN.

  • I'm not quite sure I understand. Normally, you only use a single network on each VLAN. Having multiple networks (public, private, or both) on a single VLAN is problematic. It is possible to have only some of the addresses in a network be translated, even if the interface for that network is marked as an inside interface, but the interface will be specific to a single network. How would you propose to have clients in a different network than is assigned to your interface use your interface as a gateway?

  • I have the gateway addresses defined in the loopback interface, and an addressing scheme of /30 between de PPPoE Server and my border router to get the internet. This way i have multiple prefix working at the same time with one virtual-template . I would like to create an access-list to translate only the clients that receive a private IP from radius authentication. And keep the rest exactly as they arre working now.

  • You will need to be much more specific. You should edit your question to include your (sanitized) configuration.

From NAT perspective you wont have problems, as long as your are using correct access-lists. So for example, permit only private ip range in acl and use this acl in ip nat inside source list (private range acl) pool blabla overload. NAT will be created only for those packets that match acl. Public ip addresses will use normal routing.

  • Now i have one additional problem. This works in a Cisco router which does ppp termination by software but in a 7609 not. I think that as it pppoe sessions are hardware managed...ACL doesn't apply...Any idea to solve this? Thanks

  • I do not think that it has anything to do with hardware software part. Could you please share relative configuration parts. Sep 14, 2016 at 13:32
  • I doubt about SPA5x1GE used to PPP and ACL. Configuration is a common PAT configuration, with the unique difference is that ip nat inside command is on the template interface (i also tried at loopback). ACL matching counters and in consecuence ip nat translation is empty in the 7609. The same configuration is working in a 7206VXR
