NEt/Subnet/Firewall nightmare - but I am RTFM'ing :)
soulh...@soulhuntre.com
Maybe you can help me...
So, I have been assigned 209.xxx.xxx.129 -> 255, my router lives on
209.xxx.xxx.129.
I have decided to put in a firewall, and I would prefer to lose as FEW
Ip's as posible (I am already feelign the crunch) ... I cannot go to
NAT or Masq because of some of the security issues we deal with (IPsec
and some others).
So..... I want....
Router <----------> Firewall <---HUB---> Internal lan.
(...129) (...130 eth0) (...140 eth1) (...131-255)
I have slowly been learning that we can use subnet masks (have to) to
split this network up, and that I might be able to split it up
reasonably... but I can't really interprit the answer you got :)
So my questions...
1) What is the smallest way to split something like that up?
2) What would be the net/subnet/bcast info for each interface on
router/firewall eth0 and eth1
3) How do I assign more than one ip/subnet mask to a single ethernet
card? (for the firewall eth1)
4) What would be the subnet/mask for the machines in the
internal "cloud"?
Any pointers to how to begin to zen this would be appreciated :)
