Hello and Good Afternoon
My internet provider has given me /29 Public IP address range.
I have Two cisco 4K Routers and a 3850 Switch. I would like to use both router to "share" the DSL line with there own public IPs.
My idea is a VLAN and a couple of switch ports on the 3850 to this "VLAN 666_RAW_Internet" , then connect the DSL line and both WAN interface of the 4K with addresses from the /29 range to share this connection.
will this work ? or would have to do more then create a L2 VLAN on the switch to connect all WAN router ports to the internet?
I just need a way to increase the amount of ports that have internet access.
Am I heading in the right direct ? or is there a better/other way?
Any help would be appreciated.
regards
Jason

Yes, that is a perfectly acceptable way of doing it and is a common practice.

Hi
(I have changed the IP address to protect the innocent.)
And would simply assigning a block of ports on the switch as L2 switch ports and the 4K interfaces as routed ports work ? does the VLAN 666 need to be an SVI or something or just standard L2.
>>>3850 switch <<<
interface range gig1/0/1 -3
Dis *** Raw_internet ports***
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 666
<<<4K Router 1<<<
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
description ***WAN interface to switchport 1/0/1 ***
ip address 73.85.268.129 255.255.255.248
<<<4K Router 2<<<
interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
description ***WAN interface to switchport 1/0/2 ***
ip address 73.85.268.130 255.255.255.248

Just create VLAN 666 on the switch, no SVI necessary.
Your port range commands are correct. I'd add "spanning-tree portfast" to those as well to instantly forward traffic since only routers are connecting to them.
Everything will work as intended.
Commands:
vlan 666
name RAW_INTERNET
interface range g1/0/1 - 3
spanning-tree portfast
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 666
