Hi, starting something new here and seem to be having an issue.
My FPR1010 is set in PPPoE Mode and obtains a Static WAN IP as its GW and I also have a block of 8 Static WAN IP’s (6 usable). I was trying to assign a DDWRT router to an Interface on the FPR and Inhave set the FPR Interface to Passive, Switch and tried various NAT/ ACL’s and assigned the DDWRT WAN Interface the actually x.x.x.178 WAN IP. Nothing I do will work… am I even able to assign an inside device connected to the main Router a literal WAN IP or must it be part of a LAN/vlan Network IP with NAT?
Really wanted to avoid that and simply pass through one of my WAN IP’s to the DDWRT. Not sure if I am missing something or if this simply isn’t possible.

i think this problem related to ISP , call your ISP and ask them if 8 Static WAN IP’s (6 usable) routed to gateway or not

My ISP no longer offers Static IP Blocks. They no longer support them. Those who have them are grandfathered in and do with them as you will. There is no help from ISP side, I can literally hear them scrolling through their paper cue cards as they give me the default responses "did you reset your modem" "is the Ethernet cable plugged in" I am like, seriously?
Surely in the wide world of Cisco people have a block of static ip's and for whatever reason need to pass through one of those IP's to an inner switch or router connected to the main/internet facing router.
I mean, I suppose I could be the first person who wants to do this..

Well it appears it can not work. I suppose I will make the VPN Router 192.168.4.1 and NAT it to x.x.x.178 then on the VPN Router create a LAN network 10.0.1.0/24 and do it that way.
