I cant access my static ips from any outside connection with UDM pro need help!!!!!!

I have a UDM pro and have looked at many forums and articles online but every single one of them are not clear on how to setup static IP block where they allow incoming connection or let the UDM pro control the incoming connections. Ive tried a number of variations where passthrough is on or off to bypass with the BGW320-505 & BGW320-500 and having passthrough on resulting in not being able to allow incoming connections. having passthrough off is the only way to get it to ping but only on the router IP. What am I doing wrong here? I have also tried using cascaded method but get not able to get that to work either. I result in getting stuck at a distro hub of ATT when passthorugh is on when doing a trace route. 

In the end I dont want double natting and want to give the static public IP block to my UDM pro to control and fully bypass the router from att but obviously still go through the router physically because thats the only way. 

I've been on the phone with att for DAYS! and even had techs come out twice now, also on my 3rd block of static ips. I just dont know what to do at this point and getting very frustrated as this hindering me to be able to work from home. I hope someone that has done this can provide me with some guidance cause i'm completely lost to how to do this now. I can attach screenshots of my config if needed...

Thank you!

Hello, @alphaparth! Thanks for taking the time to post and engage the community forums with your questions. 

 

We recommend you try to manually configure IP/Passthrough this will assist with accessing your static IP address

 

  1. Open a browser on a computer that is directly connected to the RG.
  2. In the address bar, enter http://sm.att.com/d4ea8c40.
  3. Select the Firewall tab in the RG GUI page.
  4. Select IP Passthrough below the Firewall tab.
  5. Enter the Device Access Code if prompted.
  6. Select Passthrough option from the Allocation Mode drop-down menu.
  7. Select manual from the Passthrough Mode drop-down.
  8. Select Save. A re-starting gateway reminder message appears. 
  9. Select Restart Now to complete the setting change.
  10. Manually configure your device to use the WAN IP address, default gateway, and Broadband Subnet mask from your gateway.

Please do not hesitate to reach back out to us for additional assistance.

Why would I pay for technical support? Its a simple request that Im asking! I have a static block that I pay extra for monthly. No one that ATT has put me in touch with is able to tell me how to configure my BGW320-505 router to successfully passthrough my static IPs to my router. What is the procedure so that what I am paying for will work? This has nothing to do with my router because Im very familiar with it. Im not certified to use your router and I dont know the order of operations or configuration settings to apply to correctly setup that up on the BGW320-505 that att has provided!

Avoid HomeTech.  Responses from people who have tried have not been positive.   Note that there are issues with eddanm's post described later.

@alphaparth Can you be more specific about exactly the end result you're looking to achieve with your home configuration?  Do you just want to have the UDMP have one of the 5 public static addresses and everything be NATted to that single public address, and let the UDMP handle that NAT and any required port forwarding...  OR... do you want to have multiple public addresses behind the UDMP to be reached from the public Internet (e.g. servers)?    .... OR ... do you want something else.  Please describe in infuriating detail.

I'm also desperately trying to get this to work with no success. My goal with my 5 static public ip's was to run the att gateway in passthrough mode. my Dream Machine pro will have the first ip. Then as needed on my lan to statically assign a couple of devices with the static ip's remaining. any other time or any other situation this is a very easy setup. no matter what i try with this ATT gateway is not working and i've tried every possible configuration scenerio. The only way i can get the static ip's to work is while connected directly to one of the lan ports on the security gateway which i don't want as that device only has 1 5Gb port. I'm using that port to feed the dream machine pro a 5gb link..... i'm going sfp to etheret(10 GB link to a windows datacenter server I would like one of the static ip's on.. no scenerio i've tried in the configurations work.. any advice would be greatly appreciated . Att support verified I configured my public subnet settings are correct in the att gateway 

Model Number BGW320-505

So you'd like the public Dynamic address assigned to your UDMP and the UDMP to NAT for that.  IP Passthrough will do that.

You'd like the UDMP to handle the subnet internally for you.  That's easy... set up the Cascaded Router feature.  [Ignoring IP Passthrough for the moment], it gets a "WAN" IP of one of the local privates on the BGW320, it should be configured to have the Public Router IP (the .6) on its LAN, and it can handle the useable addresses (.1 - .5) connected to it and route them to the BGW320.

You'd like both... in this case, set the cascaded router's address to 0.0.0.0 in the BGW320 setup, which will cause it to use the IP Passthrough IP address to be used.  The Gateway will happily do this.  The problem that I see is that you now need to configure the UDMP to handle two different routing situations AT THE SAME TIME:

(a) routing/NAT for the Public Dynamic Address and private addresses on the UDMP

(b) routing (w/o NAT) for the Public Addresses block

This is a complex configuration for the UDMP.

I want to have multiple public addresses behind the UDMP to be reached from the public Internet (e.g. servers)... So whenever I try using just IP passthrough Im not able to get any incoming connections and when conducting a traceroute it shows that it doesnt even reach my ATT router or the Gateway of the static IPs.

Let me try setting up cascaded feature and see how that goes.. Ill keep you posted on what the outcome is. Thank you for your prompt response!

@JefferMC you are right its very complex to do that configuration as you mentioned in your last message. Basically I want to have multiple public addresses behind the UDMP to be reached from the public Internet (e.g. servers)... I want all 5 static IPs that i have to be controlled (routing/NAT) by the UDMP. Whats the best config for this or is this even possible? Im seeing 2 configs where:

1. is IP passthrough (this doesn't allow any incoming connections)

2. is Cascaded router (the 2 different routing situations at the same time)

Thank you again for your valuable guidance on this...
