External Interconnect - Do I need to turn off NAT or set it to bridge mode
-
Currently our isp has given us a block of public IP's but to set them up we need to set up our router as the gateway to their interconnect modem. Im not sure if I just need to turn nat off and or set it up in some kind of bridge mode. Basicaly i need all trafic to pass from the external interface to the secondary interface without being firewalled or natted.
My ISP has assked me to set up my router the following way -
On the external interconnect interface:
IP address 67.141.127.130 netmask 255.255.255.252 default route/gateway 67.141.127.129
On a second interface on your router:
IP address 69.244.194.145 netmask 255.255.255.248
You could connect a switch to this second interface to allow you to connect the computers then apply the public addresses 69.244.194.146-150.You must add a default route for 0.0.0.0 -> 67.141.127.129
Then here's an example network configuration of one of the computer or router on the lan or secondary interface:
IP address: 69.244.194.146
network mask: 255.255.255.248
gateway: 69.244.194.145 -
Is it a T1? I'm assuming this is the router in front of the pfSense WAN, so you would want the router straight public with no nat. If it's a T1, just have the /30 address on the serial interface and the /29 on the ethernet. Then use .146 on the pfSense WAN and the rest as VIPs. I'm confused as to what kind of line this is, as the second block seems to be Comcast… The information they provided seems straightforward, what kind of router are you using?

The connection on the external is a 100mb cable modem connection from Shaw Bigpipe. I have changed the IP's so they dont reflect my ip's. Basicaly I have the Bigpipe modem going into the pfsense external interface and the secondary pfsense interface going into a hardware router. The hardware router will be configured with the 69.244.194.146 address. I need to be able to ping this from the outside world going through the pfsense router.
