Two public networks on ASA outside interface

exonetinf1nity
Level 1
Level 1

Greetings, we have an MPLS network configured, the head office has a 10Mbit Ethernet circuit comming into the HQ which is split into two dot1q vlans. This link terminates on a 3825 ISR.

The internet vlan is bridged from the router onto the outside interface of the firewall which isnt a problem...however the ISP has provided two address blocks

A /30 for the dot1q Vlan internet link and a /28 for external business services such as SMTP.

Now currently i have the /30 terminated on the outside of the firewall, if i setup NAT statements on the firewall for the /28 range and get the ISP to route to the /28 network through the /30 network would this work ok.

If configs are needed please let me know.

We were going to use a common gateway initially but the customer wants both the firewall and router connected to the internal network, at present the /30 is bridged onto f0/0/0 which connects to the outside of the asa.

The other options i was considering was to assign the /30 address to g0/1.1001 being 193.***.***.170 255.255.255.252 and then assign the first avaliable address in the /28 range to vlan 1 then the next address in the /28 range to the outside of the firewall.

Now currently i have the /30 terminated on the outside of the firewall, if i setup NAT statements on the firewall for the /28 range and get the ISP to route to the /28 network through the /30 network would this work ok.

YES.

Firewall would start proxy arp'ing for the other subnet as soon as it is specified in nat statements.If isp routes to f/w for this other subnet,everything would work well.
