TomatoUSB

Hi,

currently, I have a router with Tomato loaded. I also have two 48 port switches behind a port 1 and port 2.

This is a the rental properties to share the internet access with fiber 100M down and 50M up. I know if I can assign each device with 255.255.255.255 as network mask, then they won't be able to see each other. However, I am using 255.255.252.0 in the DHCP which means people can go to their "my network place" and see other computers or devices. Is there any way, I can disable the broadcasting feature so each device won't be able to see others in the router? even 255.255.252.0 is used? What should I do to make it happens? thanks!

The best approach would be to give each client their own Tomato router and do double NAT. This way you can assign them each a capped package of 10X1.5 and also qos traffic shape them and control their connection counts. This will of course firewall them from each other while it is at it.

thanks.. good idea… but very limited budget.. I don't think it will work :(..

any other ideas are welcome! thanks!

Charge enough to run yer business or find another business to run.

I think the budget must be limited and which is not what he can control… or he can get a real enterprise router instead of tomato…

anyway, it is not a dead end, it sounds like you have manageable switches.. if so, try VLAN for each port. (i am not sure if it works that way)
