Can one ASA5508x firewall multiple Public IP Addresses?

I'm working with an installation with a single cable modem and 4 Public IP Addresses. Customer wants to put in a single ASA5508x to act as a firewall to 4 video encoders so that each encoder gets its own IP Address.  We would like each encoder to be accessed on each of the 4 public addresses and port forward (for a little bit more security) to a local address for each encoder. Is this at all feasible with one ASA5508?

To be clear we see it like this...

 

                               [Public IP1]:42554 to [Private IP1]:554

                               [Public IP2]:42554 to [Private IP2]:554

Cable Modem ->     

                               [Public IP3]:42554 to [Private IP3]:554

                               [Public IP4]:42554 to [Private IP4]:554

 

We would also like to do IP filtering on the public side to harden the connection.

From what I can tell so far - it looks like we would actually need 4 ASA5508-x to accomplish this...

If the ISP provides four IPs on a single connection, then you can use them on a single ASA. Just think about a customer with a /24 network from the ISP. They don't operate 250 firewalls ... ;-)

You only need NAT as mentioned in your example and some Access-control to restrict who can access the system.

Doh! Yup - that does explain it clearly and concisely! Thanks!

As long as you have all of the public IPs assigned to you and they're in the same netblock then, yes, you can do that with a single ASA.

i support customers that have a /24 public range, on the FW the outside interface has 1 public IP out of that range, and the other IP's are just NAT's. this way the FW will pretend it has the full /24. you would need to put a static route to point to your fw outside IP address for the full /24.
