  • I can configure a interface on wan zone on XG.

    I did that before and configure a static route 0.0.0.0  and a second route with my gateway on the physicyl host 195.x.x.x and add interface for wan.

    But i had lot of ARP request and the provider block my ip

    with UTM and the screen config I don't have any issue

  • Shouldnt XG prevent such configuration? Because XG will generate a lot of ARP requests for everybody. 

    From my perspective such setups are bad practice anyways. Those Point to Point Links are likely to forward all ARP Requests to the next End.

    You are configuring a Point to Point connection without knowing, you are doing this. And XG will still generate all the ARPs, it needs to communicate. 

  • I did this

    In setup > Network > Interfaces :

    setup the WAN interface (PORTB by defaut) with :

    ip : 212.x.x.x/24

    gw : 212.x.x.x.254 (don't think just apply that, i know it does'nt feel right)

     

    In setup > routing >static routing :

    you'll add 2 routes:

    - 195.x.x..0/24 - leave GW empty - select WAN interface (PORTB)

    - 0.0.0.0/0 - GW 195.x.x.1 - leave interface empty

    but when I apply this all was ok for 1 days after the ip was blocked

  • Because you did not configure it as the provider require it. 

    You need to use /32 not /24. 

    You cannot simply put a gateway in it. 

    Use a DMZ interface and use /32. The 0.0.0.0 should be enough, point it to the PortB.
