How do I use a public IP Address on the LAN with Cisco 1905 Router

premvishwakarma

Level 1

Hello,

I have multiple public IP addresses (5 nos ) got from ISP. 

I have Cisco 1905 router with 2 Ethernet port as GE0/0 and GE0/1 respectively. 

I have configured one of public IP address in one of router ethernet  port GE0/0 and another port GE0/1 which is use as a LAN subnet. 

Where I have created NAT, so network devices can communicate on LAN using private IP addresses. 

Now, I want to use rest of free public IP address on host of LAN subnet behind  Router.  So I can directly communicate the devices on public IP address from outside. We don't want to use port forwarding of single public ip address. 

Please suggest the solution for the same. 

Thanks,

Prem Vishwakarma

Hello,

what are the addresses ? LAN address and host addresses need to be in the same segment, so your only option would be to further subnet the public addresses you have been given. That is not likely to be possible, since the ISP has probably given you continuous addreeses.

Or you could use static 1-on-1 natting...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply !! 

We have public address are 5 nos. of same subnet  10.25.X.X/29. 

For LAN we are using 192.168.X.X/24.

Our some host will  be on LAN subnet  192.168.X.X/24. and 

two host required public IP directly on NIC 10.25.X.X/29

I have attached the topology diagram.

Hello,

bridging could work here, if you connect the two hosts that need a public IP address to a different interface on the router.

Post the configuration of your router, I will try to fill in the necessary bits and pieces for that...

Thanks,

Hello,

sorry for the delay. The problem is that you have only two Ethernet ports, one of which is used for the Internet connection. Either way, with the configuration below (important parts are marked in bold), you can assign public IP addresses to the hosts connected to GigabitEthernet0/1. The default gateway for the hosts needs to be the IP address of BVI1.

Thanks for the information. 

I'll implement the configuration and update you on the same. 

Just want to confirm, 

Do I need additional port in Router.

OR

The configuration you shared will be work on the existing port. 

Regards,

Prem. 

Hello,

try using a secondary IP address on the bridged interface:

interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 ip virtual-reassembly
 bridge-group 1
 ip address 192.168.12.74 255.255.255.0 secondary
 duplex auto
 speed auto

I am not sure this will work though. If not, yes, you need another interface for your LAN hosts with private addresses...
