Hi,
Our ISP will give us a single drop with two public IP blocks - one primary, one secondary. I would like to configure and run 2 firewalls:
firewallA will have a public ip from primary interface
firewallB will have a public ip from secondary interface
I'm very new to networking, and trying to find out how I can do it. We have a cisco 2901 router.
I'm considering
connect the drop to the WAN side of a router (2901)
configure both the primary and secondary interfaces on the router
configure the router in bridge mode
assign the public ips to the firewalls and connect them to the LAN interfaces of the router
Does this make sense? If not, any other way to do it? (I know I can use 1 firewall and configure both interfaces on it without the router, but I would like to know if the above setup will work).
Thanks a lot..
Matt
