Gateway connec to Provider over Private IP

[a462474]

Hi All,

Greetings!

I should be able to connect to Provider on Private IP subnet, however I wish  Traffic reaching out to Internet or DC, should NAT to Public IP , what are NAT options to achieve this, same way need solution for traffic initiated from Internet. 

1. Can i use Loopback IP on Checkpoint with Public IP and call that IP for NAT on the interface(Private IP subnet) connecting to Provider

2. can i use two different interface (one with private IP & other with Public) and call Public IP in interface(Private IP ) connecting to Provider. 

3. Can i use Public IP with out configuring on any interface but just use " Hide behind IP" NAT option on the Interface (with Private Ip) connecting to Provider.

.Kindly advise on this

Regards

The correct way to address this for all the scenarios above is NAT.
For VPN traffic, you will have to use Link Selection.
