Hello.
Hope you can help me with a certain issue.
I connect to my ISP using PPPOE. They provided me with a /30 IP block. When the router connects to my ISP, it gets x.x.x.60.
I want to assign two servers the x.x.x.61 and x.x.x.62 IPs which obviously are located behind the Mikrotik router. Can anyone guide me through the process of doing this?
Setup ISP >> PPPOE >> .60 (router) >> Server 1 (.61)
…>> Server 2 (.62)
Now this sounds odd to me.
In a /30 network, .60 is the network address, .61 and .62 are usable addresses and .63 is the broadcast address.
Are you sure you get assigned .60?
I rather think you get .61 and .62 is your ISP peer address - or the other way around.
In case they really assigned a whole network for your own use, your PPPoE-address will be different from the assigned pool and will act as a transport network, which would then enable you to create the /30 network on your router on a physical interfgace or bridge to have one (!) additional host connected because one of the two addresses will be used by your router.

Thank you Chris. I think I’ll just simply do 1 to 1 NAT. Should be easier to deal with.
