Assigning multiple ip's to one device behing a BT Business Hub

[paulow1978]

Hi,

this issue has been driving mad for a good few months now. We have a bt business hub with 13 static ip addresses using the BT peer adressing system. The BT business hub is configured correctly and i can ssign one public ip to my sonicwall firewall WAN interface correctly. This works exactly as it should. however, the sonicwall should have all 13 static ip's associated with it but it appears impossible to do this on the BT business hub as it can only allocated 1 public ip to one mac address (or device). Can someone just clarify that this is the case please or help provide me with some instructions on how to allocate multiple static public ip's to one device behind the bt business hub?

If this router cannot do it, does anyone know of one that can do it and a set up guide?

All i can find out there are guides to put single public ip's on to individual servers which while I *could* its not an ideal scenario.

thanks,

Paul

Hi, I have tried to do this myself but I don't thnk it is possible with the BT Business Hub 3.

In the end, as I also have Pipex ADSL on another line, I did this by first assigning a BT Infinity static IP address to the server and then assigning a second IP address to the same interface from the ADSL static IP address pool. Not ideal as the ADSL connection is supposed to be a backup/failover for BT Infinity but it works...

Hi Paul,

It is not possible to assign more than one static from the BT hub 3, unless you can manually specify more than one static ip address on the connected network card and do any required port forwarding to the static ip addresses.

Can your sonic firewall dial a PPPoE session?  If so you could put the router into bridge mode and get the sonic wall to dial the session and manage the static ip addresses.

Thanks,

Steve

Hi

it is possible. I have three web servers each with 2 static ips assigned to them and 4 vps servers which have a single static ip. It just needs a littlw configuation on the hub and of you go
