UTM & Point-to-Point Addresses

Hello everyone!

I have a question regarding a network setup. Our ISP has provided us with a Point-to-Point address and then our public block range. Generally I have a router in front of the firewall which then acts as the gateway and uses the Point-to-Point address block. That said, is it possible to achieve this by only using the UTM rather than having the router route over the p2p block? 

I've been struggling (possibly overthinking) how I would tell the firewall that the point to point gateway/interface is the gateway for the public netblock they provided. Additionally, this new connection is a secondary connection to the primary. 

Any help or suggestions is appreciated! [:D]

  • Is this a DSL (PPPoE) connection?  You could define one of the NICs in your 425 to  connect directly to that, allowing you to get rid of the other router.  You can put the rest of the address block on that interface as individual Additional Addresses.  I get the feeling that there are other related issues, so you might want to get your reseller involved.

    Cheers - Bob
