Hi Chuck Could you explain the statement : " Usually, you would number your ethernet port with a public number, and you would use an ip unnumbered off that publicly addressed interface." - Normally we number the port with private address I am not sure what you mean by public number here!!! Just a bit puzzled .

Your ISP is most likely using a static route to you, and you in turn are using a static route to them. them: ip route "your public space" out interface X You: ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface Y this is a regular practice. IP unnumbered is even better, because then no one has to commit to or agree upon address, and no one has to waste public space. Usually, you would number your ethernet port with a public number, and you would use an ip unnumbered off that publicly addressed interface.
