      I am connected to a cable WAN with block of 5 static IPs. I have three separate LANs 172.16.0.x / 172.16.1.x / 172.16.2.x. How can I assign a separate WAN IP to each of these LANs? thx

          1. Assign wan additional ip's as virtual
          2. In nat configuration, outboun nat, select manual, and specify the input networks and on which ip they should be nated.

            Should the WAN VIPs be assigned as IP Aliases, Proxy ARP, CARP, or other? thx

                @Rico Thanks. So something like this:

                Interface: WAN
                Address Type: Single address
                Address(es): xxx.xx.xx.xxx (one of my static IPs from Cable Co) /29 the mask from Cable Co
                Is anything else necessary for this configuration? Virtual IP Passwords? VHID group? Advertising frequency? Skew?

                  @cobrahead No, you are good to go. Everything else is mainly for carp and high availability setups.
