Hi Guys,
Telus usually offers 5 static ip addresses if requested. But Telus demands Mac address for each static ip address. A SonicWall or edge router has 8 ports. Each has a distinct Mac address. So we can get 5 different static ip addresses for 5 ports. Here comes the real problem for us. The different static ip address given by telus is almost always in the same sub network(meaning 5 ip addresses having same subnet mask and same gateway ip). Because of that, only one such static ip address can be used by one port. I ask telus to offer static ip address with subnet mask 30 so that each static ip address is in different subnet such that 5 can all be used by SonicWall or edge router 5 ports (otherwise we will need 5 SonicWall devices to use 5 public ip address and that's ridiculous). But so far, telus is not doing this. What is the way out of this problem?
Thanks a lot.
George.
