ISP SET UP

By mickeous ·
Good Morning or Good Afternoon to your Tech guys - quick question please.
We are trying to set as an ISP to provide our clients (10 companies) within a small location with internet access. I have contacted a Telco company who provide us the service (Bandwidth) - we aim to buy DS3(45MB).

They have asked me of how many IP addressess do I require? And I am not sure what to say to them? Any ideas of volume of IP needed?

Please any help or pointer will do. Thanks

Minimum

by TheChas In reply to ISP SET UP

The minimum number of IP address you will need / want is 11.
1 for each client company and 1 for yourself.

Personally, I would start with 25. That way, you have room to expand and can provide more than 1 IP to any client that needs additional addresses.

If any of your clients have multiple locations, or will use more than 1 feed from you, they will need multiple IP addresses.

Basically, for each independent connection you make to the DS3 line, you need an IP address.

Thanks go out Chas for help. Initially, I requested for /24 to be on the safe side.
Currently, I have the ff devices to setup in my Datacenter.
1 ASA 5510 running IOS ver 7.2 - for checking traffic coming in (In-bound)
1 3825 Data Centre Equipment
1 3750-12-S-E for Edge traffic analysis
1 2960 to be installed on client premises
So Diagram as follows -
ASA5510==>c3825==>c3750== - in all in DC .
These will have a Fibre Optic cable connected directly to the client site and will be terminated on CISCO 2960G.

How do I configure the client site IP given the address from the TELCO COMPANY.

Please help.
