adding another subnet to XG

Hi Guys.

I have my main subnet applied to my wan interface.

My ISP has assigned me another subnet to use on separate interfaces. How do I go about doing this when the machine I want to connect to the interface has the public IP address to be used? This is quite easy on a Mikrotik. I just assign the new subnet to an interface, and then directly connect whatever I need on that interface.

This doesn't seem to be the case on an XG?

Hi,

it is exactly the same on the XG. What size subnet, I assume it is for internal use?

Your firewall rule would not require a MASQ for the new range is used internally.

It's a public /30 range

Thank you, but you didn't say where you are going to use it. That small would indicate an external interface unless you are setting ups DMZ for a server?

Correct. So apply the subnet to that interface, set as DMZ, then set the second address on the device plugging into the port?

Correct. Then setup a business rule to allow external access.

You will also need another firewall rule to allow internal users to access the server.
