Is that possible to let a interface with 2 IP addresses?

LeoTam

I am going to let a SOPHOS XG310 Lan interface to own two Lan Ip addresses as Client Gateway.

Is that possible?

The reason for my case is that my client currently is in an asymmetric routing problem which some hosts' gateway are to Sonicwall (192.168.0.1) while the others are to Cisco Router (192.168.0.254) . 

And in the Cisco router, there also is a static route as 

Dst: 0.0.0.0/0
GW: 192.168.0.1
Nat: No

 

Now, the Sonicwall is going to be migrated to SOPHOS XG310. 

 



Since there also is no DHCP environment and the Client is not willing to manually change their hosts' Gateway.

Appreciate if the SOPHOS LAN interface can own the 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.254 addresses at the same time.

 



Thanks for helps.

    Hi Leo,

    yep that is possible. You'll need to create an Alias (UTM Called it "additional Address").

    go to Network >> Interfaces >> ADD >> Alias

     

    Please see this as a workaround set the most common used IP as the primary interface ip and the less common used as additional adress.

    i would recommend to reconfigure your clients step by step. no need to hury but makes things easyer in future projects.
