Public ip for mac address
-
For the interactivity of my TV-decorder, it needs to get a public ip from my ISP. Below my current setup.
modem (from ISP) --> sg-1100(WAN)
and from the router:
LAN port to my network --> Everything is connected here behind an unmanaged switch opt port bridged to wan to get public ip for my web server
I retrieve a public ip with dhcp from my ISP
What I try to reach is getting a public ip for my decoder. I know the mac address for it.
Do you have any suggestions? -
You would need to speak to your ISP about getting a second dedicated IP address. Some ISPs will only do this for business accounts.
I find it hard to believe that this device must have a public IP address. You're posting in the NAT forum. Have you tried NATing your TV box and then test to see if it functions correctly? What is this device, exactly?

I have a maximum of 16 dhcp addresses available from my ISP.
I need the public IP for interactivity like TV on demand, extended schedule, playback TV, ... . Because this is a paid subscription they hand out a 10.x.x.x address to verify the device on their servers.I can not predict the IP address that they will give, so that is the difficulty.

Well you can not get to the at from public internet - it doesn't route on the public internet.. There is no way to get to a 10 address over the internet..
If you now what the ip is, you could prob get to it via vpn to pfsense, put a vip on pfsense wan that is on the 10.whatever/network and talk to it that way.
