FVS318N with a /29 (five IP addresses) public subnet?

Hello everyone,

Correct me if I'm wrong here... but I have a /29 subnet "home business" Internet connection. I have the FVS318N firewall (actually two now, I love these things) but I suspect that these devices are not capable of supporting 5 public IP addresses with five individual internal (and seperate) LAN subnets.

Are my suspicions correct? (mind you that this not a problem one either way...)

  • Hi Digithead,

     

    The FVS318N can handle multiple public IP addresses and even separate the protocols in where you wanted it to passthrough. You may find this option in Security > Firewall - LAN WAN Rules - Inbound Services - ADD - WAN Destination IP Address - (Input the Public IP single or range).

     

    Regards,

      Excellent! Wow... I didn't think that would work that way. At some point I need to reconfigure the firewall... to just handle my entire public-facing network.   :-)
