Re: firewall routing setup

I thought about it. since those two IPs are in the same subnet, will it mess
up existing routing?

how to config it in bridging mode? Any more detail?

Thanks.

Hi all,

Thanks for the input. I have a difficult situation that needs all help.

currently setup is WAN router connect to a switch, then all workstations
connect to switch, router and workstation are using same subnet, like
168.1.X.X

What I want is to setup a firewall server (2 NIC cards) between Router
and
swith.

how do I setup this firewall without changing WAN router configuration?
Another word, if this case, two NIC cards will have same IP subnet, but
how
is routing going to work?

Simple. Example. Use what ever ip addresses you have free in 168.x.x.x
they don't have to be at either end it could be any.

Setup a linux box as your firewall.
Setup eth0 as 168.x.x.1
Setup eth1 as 168.x.x.2
Turn on forwarding
Connect switch to eth1
Connect router to eth0
Finished
