Running R55 on Nokia 3.9.
I currently have a router between FW-1 and the T-1's that supply our
Internet connection. We're changing ISPs and I want to eliminate the router
because it doesn't really do anything useful (no filtering, etc.) and I can
use it elsewhere. The new ISP comes in via fiber. I also must keep the same
external IP address on FW-1. We have our own IP block and the new ISP will
announce those routes for us.
So my external interface currently looks like this (made-up addresses):
IP: 122.45.5.1 /24
Next hop router - default route (mine) 122.45.5.254
The new ISP wants us to re-IP the firewall to
IP: 67.56.4.3 /30
Next hop router - default route: 67.56.4.4
Obviously if I change the external IP like this, all sorts of things are
going to break, like all of our vendors that expect traffic to come from
122.45.5.1. I do use central licensing.
Is it possible to set the external interface like this:
IP: 122.45.5.1 /24 (original address)
Next hop router - default route: 67.56.4.4 (new ISP)
or do they truly both have to be on the same subnet? If so, is there any way
to fix this while still eliminating the old router and not manually setting
NAT on every object? Or do I just have to keep the old router in place?
Thanks for any education you can lend,
Ray
