Multiple DHCP IP addresses on one interface
-
My ISP offers multiple public IP addresses to use over DHCP. Is there any way of setting up two addresses on my wan port? It would be used to give a server on the wan side an direct public IP
Thanx -
@stijnrosaer yep!
If static - Firewall -> Virtual IPs
If DHCP - Switch + VLANs -
How could that work? DHCP servers assign an IP address to a MAC address. The server will not assign multiple IP addresses to a single MAC. The best you could do is manually create an alias IP address.

Thank you for the information.
Is there a way of giving my local server a public IP? I know the mac address of it. The server is attached through the LAN interface. -

Does the WAN interface have a VLAN? Does the ISP support it? Otherwise, no go.
I already covered the static address when I mentioned an alias which is what a virtual IP is.

@stijnrosaer you can use reverse proxy (e.g. HAProxy package)

Assuming you have NAT, then just port forward to the server. It's common practice.

Hmm... You can create VLAN on any interface, even WAN. But VLANs have the same MAC address. I guess you cannot use it with one ISP and one DHCP server.

@JKnott That is not a good solution for my problem. I am actually trying to get an TV decoder to get a public IP. This is the issue:
The decoder has two mac addresses. One should be an internal address, BUT the other is actually an 10.201.. address. This second one is given by the ISP's DHCP server and is used to verify my TV subscription as well as extra packages like sport or playback.

@stijnrosaer it is better if you create different topics with different items.

@Renat Thank you. I will. This is the post

@stijnrosaer according to multiple DHCP IP addresses you should use different physical (virtual) interfaces.

You cannot have a public IP on any LAN, NAT or NOT, where it doesn't belong. It would not be able to communicate with anything.

If you want multiple public IPs via dhcp for wan on pfsense.. Then use another physical interface, and put a switch between your isp device and pfsense. Now you have multiple wans, with different IPs.
You could then do port forwards for 1 IP to server IP behind, or even 1:1 nat, etc.
Can really do it with just vlan on 1 physical nic in pfsense, because it will use the same mac.
