Sb8200 cable modem/2gig port
-
my friend just get the sb8200 that has 2 -1gig ports.. but comcast still gives 1 external ip the second is 192.168.100.57..
i added a dual nic card to try to bond to pfsense.. assigned both dhcp ..is it possible to have 1 port doing all inbound and the other doing outbound? whats good about 2 ports on the cable modem?
TIA

So that would be for future lagging support I would guess.. Keep in mine that lagg is 1+1 does not = 2.. So sure you could load share if your internet was faster than gig.. But a single client would not get more than gig..
It would also be for if your isp was giving you more than 1 IP..
To be honest these modems coming out say supporting up to 6bps with 1 gig interfaces are just as always marketing hype nonsense.. Just like that wifi router is 1750 mbps ;) Sorry adding up the 2.4 PHY and the 5 PHY is no where close to what user going to see real world ;) Now once they start putting in 802.3bz (2.5 and 5gbps) interface you might have something..
Got love all the ads 2Gbps service – and what exactly am I going to do with that at home when you give me a device with 1gig interfaces ;)
As to why your friend is getting a 192.168.100.x address - yeah this common IP given out when modem has no isp connection yet, etc. This is to put you on the network to access the modems ui at 192.168.100.1
