BT 2701HGV-C 2 exchange servers on port 25?

[andy123]

Is it possible to have two exchange servers using 2 of the 5 static addresses and a BT 2701HGV-C router

So with BT Infinity - 5 static addresses & BT 2701HGV-C

81.123.456.1 > exchange server for domain 1 on port 25

81.123.456.2 > exchange server for domain 2 on port 25

Will port forwarding allow for 2x port 25?

If not, how do we get around this?

Hi andy123,

yes this is possible if you have a range of statics IP's. This would only not work if you have a single static IP.

Cheers Markp,

Can you give me an idea of how to set this up as we will need to do some testing, otherwise we're looking to get a second Broadband line

Would also need port 443, 1701, 1723, 80 for each static address too

Can you explain or is there documentation anywhere?

Hi andy123

if you look at the thread,Small Office Network Guides.  This has the setup instructions for our 2700 router, the intructions are exactly the same for the 2701 router. If you have any problems you can contact the fibre helpdesk on 08001693809

I can't see any option in there to do this..

There is only one set of port forwarding rules which applies to all incoming traffic

you can't seem to apply two lots of the same rules to 2 different external static addresses

Hi andy123,

It is possible to assign the same ports to different IP's within your public range, I would reccommend, you contact the fibre helpdesk they will be able to configure the router to allow you to do this.

The phone number for the fibre helpdesk is 08001693809

Yes I can see how to do that, that's the easy part!

it's the rest of it that seems impossible

Phoning BT is like pulling your own teeth out! (very last resort, and then they wont know!)
