I have purchased a Vodafone SureSignal device as I have problems with the mobile network in my area.<br />
I use a Cisco ASA5505 firewall between my broadband router and my network.<br />
The broadband is fibre-to-the-cabinet and runs at about 50Mbps and is very reliable.<br />
I understand from Vodafone that it is necessary to forward a number of ports to the address of the SureSignal, but it is not possible to assign a static IP address to that device, there is no interface to it. Apparently it will only work with DHCP.<br />
My ASA is configured to handle the DHCP for my network, but I don't believe it is possible to fix an IP address relating to the MAC address of the SureSignal using the ASA. So I cannot forward to an IP address I do not have. <br />
Has anyone successfully configured an ASA to work with a SureSignal device?
