If the IP will not be involved in any of the traffic, am I able to use an IP that is not even being used on the bridged subnet? For example... I have a /28 block of public IPs from my ISP. Am I correct in assuming I can assign a private IP to the WAN and still have my public traffic bridge through to my OPT1?

Thank you! > You can assign however many IP's you want, but in a bridge you only want one IP on the WAN as it won't be involved in any of the traffic. Just need an IP for management purposes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
