Title: How to determine if multiple public ip are active on RED interface
Post by: HermanTheron on Tuesday 01 June 2010, 11:40:40 pm
Hi guys,

I installed the latest version 2.4, and I'm very impressed. I just struggle with a (somewhat) common issue: port forwarding from multiple public ip address on the RED interface. This is the last hurdle before I can move the system into production.

Basically, I have quite a few public ip addresses that I add to the configuration of the RED interface. I then setup port forwarding from the external addresses on RED to servers in the ORANGE zone. If I use any other address than the primary RED interface address, it does not work. Trying to fault find, I see that when  I run ifconfig, I can only see the primary ip address listed, and not any of the other addresses on the RED interface. Now this makes me to think that since no-one is listening on the other addresses, port forwarding will not work.

Can somebody tell me if I am on the right track? Also, must I be able to see the additional ips when I look at the output of ifconfig? Next question: the web interface says the additional addresses is configured, but where is the loading script so that I can see why it doesn't load the additional ip addresses?

Thanks in advance.

Herman

Aagh, found the problem. It seems that the ADSL router did not liked it when I switched off the old firewall system. After a reboot of the ADSL router, everything is working fine.

Thanks for a great product guys!
