giving the outside interface multiple ip?

L2 Linker

im facing issue where a firewall with a outside interface is not receiving public ip adresses from the isp router , the isp router is showing it is own interface which is connected to the firewall as the arp destination for the public ip subnet instead of the router , so i was wondering can i add multiple ip addresses to the PA layer3 outside interface?

Hi @chuckles 

 

Are the additional addresses in the same subnet as your external interface or do you have another subnet with additional addresses?

they are in the same subnet

@chuckles for what do you want to use the additional IP addresses? If you need them for making internal/dmz servers available to the internet or for source NAT IPs for outgoing connections then you actually only need to configure the required NAT rules - that's it. This way your firewall automatically responds to ARP requests for these IPs

Hello,

Or to make your life easier, is it possible to have the ISP just route all of the IP's assigned to you out its 'your device' facing interface?

 

Just a thought.

@OtakarKlier 

There's probably not much that can be routed as it is already the directly connected interface.

Guess I'm thinking of it a bit differently. Say an ISP assigns you x.y.w.z/27, I should not have to assign my external interfaces that subnet. The ISP should route that subnet out its interface that I connect to. That is how all of our ISP's are setup currently.

 

hope that makes sense.

@OtakarKlier I also know it that way you describe, but @chuckles wrote the additional IPs are in the same subnet as the external interface.
