Dear experts i got to know from ISP that will not be able provide the ethernet output instead they are providing the v.35 output termination to the cisco router ( in this case public ips are configured in cisco router and natting is done the private ip) if i want to implement ipcop or endian firewall can i take one nat ip and assign to this ipcop or endian system, please please suggest.
ASKER
what should be done please suggest :
1. should i do natting in the cisco router to the private ip and assign this private ip to eth0 of the opensource firewall system and eth1 of the open source firewall system connect to the switch.
2. or is it suggested to avoid the router ask for the ISP to provide the ethernet output and connect it to the eth1 of the open source firewall system, connect the eth0 of the open source firewall to the switch.
Please suggest me the best method.
Thanks in advance.
