Add 2 IP in the same WAN internet connection interface

[SAM_X]

Hi Guys,

I am configuring a SMB 1590 device.I have a class of 8 public IP that i can use from the ISP and I want to add 2 public IP to the same WAN internet connection interface but i get the error "IP address is in the subnet of an existing network"

Can someone Please help on this issue?

Hey,

What would be the reason you want to do that?

If you want to use the 2nd IP for NAT-ing traffic from certain users, is not needed to be defined on the box, as long as you have it's routed properly.

Thank you,

PS: not sure if a SMB differs too much from an 15600 GW, but for us is working fine.

In this case, it’s no different between SMB and non-SMB.

Hey

Im getting into the point. So it is not possible to add two public ip to the same interface?

Im using the chp firewall as a router in my case. The optic fiber is connected directly to the appliance.

What do you recommend ?

Thnx

No, it's not possible.
What is it you are trying to do that you think adding a second WAN IP would be the solution for?

I hate it when I get half answers, but still I'll ask again like others did 😁 ..

From certain perspective we all use CKP as a router but with extra features 🤣

So again, what would be the reason you want to do that? Why you want to get 2 IP's or 10 IPs on the WAN interface ?!?!?!

Thank  you,
