Device with Public IP Address cannot access the Internet

My organization recently had a service provider install an Ethernet Dedicated Internet service.  I received the IP address for the point-to-point connection with their equipment (50.XX.XX.180/30) where 50.XX.XX.182 is on my 3925 router.  I was also given a block of public IPs to use 50.XX.XX.64/28.  Gi0/0 (WAN interface) configured with 50.XX.XX.182/30.  Gi0/1 has several sub-interfaces (192.168.XX.XX).  I have configured the router to NAT all of the 192.168.XX.XX traffic to one of the public IPs received (50.XX.XX.66).  All of this is working without problems.  Now, when I configure Gi0/2 with one of the public IP addresses (50.XX.XX.65) and connect a 3850 switch to it, none of the devices that I then connect to that switch have access outside.  The switch also has a 50.XX.XX.67/28 configured and can successfully ping the gateway (50.XX.XX.65) and Gi0/0 of the router.  Beyond that, it cannot ping anything else.  Keep in mind that the devices I have connected to the switch have static IPs configured.  The router has only the default route of 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 50.XX.XX.181.  Gi0/0 has the ip nat outside statement and Gi0/1 has the ip nat inside.  Gi0/2 does not have any statements on it.  Can anyone provide recommendations as to what to look for?  Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeffrey,

The issue really isn't an issue as you see it; your service provider has given you two subnets; 50.XX.XX.180/30 and 50.XX.XX.64/28. Their device is configured to send all traffic for 50.XX.XX.64/28 to 50.XX.XX.182. When you add another interface within to connect to the service provider all the routes for 50.XX.XX.64/28 are still being sent back to 50.XX.XX.182. In order to do what you want your service provider would have to assign a 3rd IP address to send the route.

There are a couple of ways you can configure this, I have a similar config in my own network. Assign gi0/0 on your 3925 as you have it to 50.XX.XX.182 with a gateway of 50.XX.XX.181. Then use NAT pools to distribute the 50.XX.XX.64/28 as needed. Here is an outline of what the config should look like:

Well, apparently there was nothing wrong with my configuration.  I called up the service provider to verify my assigned block of IPs and it so happens that the ones I was given during the install were incorrect.  Once I reconfigured my interfaces with the correct ones everything began working.  Thank you all for your responses in this matter.
