Hi All,
Like title, I would like to get some advice from you.
I am setting up network like the image above, but cannot find the right way as yet.
My ISP provides A.B.10.10/32 as the first public static IP and has added the block (A.B.200.10/29) later.
By adding pre-routing rule on firewall, masquerade seems working well, and all PCs under Ethernet port 5 show A.B.10.10 when checking public IP. I think no problem at all in this area, but still not sure that is the right way.
What I would like to do is :
- to assign the public IP block to ethernet port 2 individually,
- those servers connected through port 2 should not see each other,
- each server returns its own IP when requested.
Currently, I have assigned Public IPs like A.B.200.12, A.B.200.13 to each server (manual IP set up on each server) that seems working fine in terms of using Internet.
However, 2 things are not what I want.
- When asking the IP, each server responses its gateway IP.
- IP (A.B.200.12) server is under A.B.200.11 (gateway IP) and it said A.B.200.11 when asking. other server's response is the same. All said "I am A.B.200.11"
- All servers can see each other through Ping.
Please advise me to set them up correctly.
Thank you all.
For a while, I have tried and looked into similar posts like you do.
Among them, I found this topic. mikrotik with PPPoe and real ip behind bridge modem
I have read and followed their conversation, and introduced instruction to my environment, however, failed around 5 times.
After last failure, I thought it is not applicable to my situation. So, I just kept that on the bookmark and forgot it.
During one week after my last failure, I have read, learned and tested many things about network. but still not enough to handle all. ![]()
Yesterday, I read the post carefully once again and successfully set up my network. As yet, no issue at all for
1. to assign the public IP block to ethernet port 2 individually,
3. each server returns its own IP when requested.
So now I am looking for the solution about 2. those servers connected through port 2 should not see each other.
and the other concern is that using public IPs seems vulnerable from the intrusions, I am not sure if I buy any network equipment for it or use firewall rules well on the router.
Thank you.
