Can't. My local "modbus" subnet must not be visible from the outside. Actually there are several production tools in use here that use similar subnets with 400+ nodes (=IP addresses) in just the manner I'm describing. There's no point in exposing all that to the outside network, and it's also a potential security and reliability issue. Just imagine a multi-million dollar tool out of production because the DHCP server is down, when all those modules need to talk to is the local controller. > You could also use another private address range like 10.x.x.x for the > Modbus devices. Yeah, I'll do something of the sort. As I said, all I need to connect to on the intranet side is a single host, so I'm sure I'll find an unused address space ;-) Thanks, robert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
