Hello,

Our ISP assigned us a /30 subnet and a /29 subnet on a single Ethernet connection, with instructions to use the gateway in the /30 block for both subnets.

The /30 block gives one usable IP address (network address, firewall address, gateway address). It is in use on one floor of our building with the Endian firewall using the /30 gateway.

I now plan to use the /29 block on a second floor using a dumb switch to split the original Ethernet connection in front of the existing firewall. However, all attempts to assign the firewall an IP in the /29 block and the gateway in the /30 block fails. Do I have to add something to the routing table to get this to work properly?

Regards,
Mike S.

You have to do routing on your EFW box...

Route all traffic of your /29 block on /30 usable IP which you have assigned as gateway.
