Hi people,
Is it possible to have public & private IP’s on the same interface ?
Basically the router has 2 interfaces, one facing the internet, one facing our LAN. The internet interface currently has 1 public IP. There is also a block of 64 public IPs routed from our ISP to our router(to our public IP, which is not part of the block of 64). A traceroute of any of the IPs from the block of 64 IPs reaches our public IP just fine. Our private side of the network is nothing fancy, 192.168.10.0/24. Currently everything from the private interface is NAT’ed, and appears on the internet as The Public IP on our public facing interface. Everything is just fine so far. Now though, I need to assign Public IP’s from our block of 64 to machines on our LAN. These IPs should be routed normally, giving true end-to-end connectivity, and should be accessable from the internet, without NAT’ing or mascarading. What commands do I need to issue to the router to enable these IPs on the LAN interface, and for them to be routed properly?. I also believe from my reading of my current configuration that everything on our LAN interface is currently NAT’ed, regardless of its source IP, I presume I would need to change this somehow so only the private IPs are NAT’ed, while the public IPs are routed through the router correctly.
I hope this makes sense and somebody can help me.
Kind Regards,
Niall
