Hi,<br />
<br />
We currently have a 46.x.x.x/28 range assigned to us from our ISP. &nbsp;I have enquired about getting this range extended, but they can only offer a separate /29 range as the blocks to either side of us are taken by other customers.<br />
<br />
If we accept this second block, how would I add this to our Watchguard firewall? &nbsp;Would it be as simple as adding the range to the Secondary tab in the External interface's configuration pages?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Firebox - adding a second external IP range

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
