Title: Creating multiple wan interfaces on DFL-210
Post by: Syl on March 11, 2009, 09:08:40 AM

Hi,
I have a DFL-210 firewall (one WAN port) and 3 internet IP addresses. I want to use them all.

Is there any other way, except using VLANs?

Sure there is, a couple of ways actually.  How so you want to use them?

You could assign different LAN nets to different WAN IPs
You could use them for publicly addressed servers on the LAN or DMZ interfaces.
You could use them for different types of outgoing traffic.
You could have them chosen from a pool for outbound connections (this makes little sense in most scenarios though).

What do you want to do with them?

I want to create an IPSec tunnel and I want to use one of those 2 free IPs as an peer address.

Then set up an ARP interface to that IP and then create a IPsec tunnel as per normal and specify a your new IP as the source address on the routing tab.

Thank you... I did that... ping works... Now I'm working on the IPsec...

Well... I dropped the idea of using an external IP address as an encryption domain for IPsec. I used an internal IP address ( 192.168.4.5 ). See: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=4642.0
