RED NAT PUBLIC IP PORT CASE ID : 05887593



Hi

I have a firewall who is behind an ISP router
The wan port is connected directly to my ISP router via PORT 2 and i've assigned to it a private IP@ 

Now when deploying RED devices , the support asked me to give the Port 2 a public IP@ , wish i don't have , because the ISP gave me only one public IP@ 

What should i do ? is there a nat solution or a port to open in ISP router to make this work ?

  • RED is connecting to your IP; you are giving in your screenshot. THis has to be an Internet IP or an DNS. 

    You can use DDNS services to have a DNS record, which keeps up 2 date. 

    But You have to configure a NAT on your ISP router, to DNAT the traffic from the router to the firewall. 
    Otherwise this will not work.

  • Sometimes you have a setting on your router to forward packets to a so called „exposed host“. Then you do not have to worry about ports, it just forwards everything to the WAN port of the firewall.
