That's exactly what I would have said. Just ask for a /29 and don't
complicate the conversation.
If you want the other party to be able to open trouble tickets and/or
see invoices you can add them as an authorized contact on the account.

One common approach is to request a block of public IP addresses. For
example, a "block of 5" which corresponds to a /29 block with 5 usable
after
deducting the network, broadcast, and gateway addresses. How this is
done
depends on the ISP and the technology. It might also be possible to
just
get a second public IP address, for example if the ISP uses PPPoE or
DHCP
with reservations, it could just hand out a second IP to the second
device,
without actually needing a routed block. You might need a switch ahead
of
the 2 routers, as you mentioned. In our case we would typically
install a
demarc router with several ports and you wouldn't need a switch.

Subject: [AFMUG] Terminology for splitting a single Internet circuit
Hi;
Is there a terminology that is used to request from an ISP where if you
have
a single circuit servicing a single client (or yourself), and now you
want
to provision it with two IPs to service two independent
routers. But it's at the same physical location running of the same
single physical circuit.
For example: You are the WISP which originally setup a site for a
single
client, single IP, single SM (or circuit). Now you want to provision
it
like an MTU. But it is the same client. They only want another IP (or
line) so that they can put a separate router on it. Almost like
putting a
switch in front of their current router and then each router plugs into
that
switch.
Similarly, if you have a fiber circuit coming into the site, and now
you
want to achieve the same thing. Two routers running independently of
that
single fiber circuit.
Is there a term or way that is simple to request this from yourselves
as a
WISP or if you requesting the same from one of your fiber providers
would
they be looking for?
