Connecting 2 Ports

/dev/nul
Hello together,

I've a nice configuration inside here. Our provider gave us two different ways 4 connection.

The fist one is to set the IP direct on the Firewall so this is the way we're connected actually.

...but we don't want our users surfing the web with this IP...

So here is the other way:
Our modem also running a DHCP-Server with gave privat IP-Adresses to the clients behind the device.

Now the question is:
If I'm connecting 2 ports from our firewall 2 the modem. (The device got only 1 Port so I need 2 use a Hub/Switch.) One with our Fixed IP, one with DHCP (so this Port will get one of the private IPs) do I risk any kind of problems?

    Rather than doing that, since you have four fixed IPs, put one of them as an Additional Address on the External interface named, e.g., "Surfen."  Now, create a NAT rule:

    SNAT : Internal (Network) -> Web Surfing -> Internet : from External [Surfen] (Address)


    Cheers - Bob
