It still all depends on your configuration, it won't look any different
than a static private IP address shows when doing an ifconfig except it
will be the public IP. Generally if you have a static IP you will have
to set it manually, and it won't get it via DHCP. But I have worked
with some DSL connections though that assigned the static IP through a
DHCP reservation based on your modem/routers MAC address. However that
would only work for a single IP. If you get 25, you can assign those
with aliases to make a single server answer on the others as well,
common for servers hosting multiple https web sites.
Here's an example with Aliases, its from a LAN with private range, but
would look no different except IPs if it was public range addresses.
This is from my web/email server (the very one this message comes from),
the secondary IP is for running jails, when testing upgrades.
LAN: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 9000
options=209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC>
ether 00:07:e9:09:be:4f
inet 192.168.5.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.5.255
inet 192.168.5.21 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.5.255
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
Here's an example from a public range, pulled this from my pfSense box,
which is on a Cable Connection with a block of 5 static IP Addresses.
vr1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8280b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,WOL_UCAST,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>
ether 00:0d:b9:1c:78:2d
inet 24.240.198.186 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 24.240.198.191
inet6 fe80::20d:b9ff:fe1c:782d%vr1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
nd6 options=43<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
There's just a single IP set, though it does relay connections on other
IPs, using proxy arp to do this so there is no need for an alias to be
defined.
So your saying the ISP forwards any internet traffic for those static ip
address to the on site "modem/router" MAC address which my service was
previsioned to?
The ISP is sending DNS port 53 and DHCP port 67 traffic on each static
ip address as well?
I can configure the on site modem/router to assign selected static ip
address to a router's hardware port which is cabled to different PC's?
The PC's would only be seeing traffic for that selected static ip address?
The rc.config statement ifconfig_xl0="DHCP" on that PC would function as
exspected?
Now if I only had a on site "modem" with a single output port, then
all the static ip address would hit the NIC card it was cabled to?
So on the single FreeBSD system with NIC xl0 being cabled to the single
port coming from the on site modem I would need ifconfig statements in
rc.conf to select what static ip address I want to use for DHCP to
automatically get the ISP's DSN ip address? Please correct my syntax if
wrong
ifconfig_xl0="DHCP,24.240.xxx.186"
If I wanted to use the remaining static ip address for other PC's on my
private LAN I would have to have additional ifconfig statements in rc.conf?
ifconfig_xl0="alias,24.240.xxx.187,24.240.xxx.188,24.240.xxx.189"
or would I need a single statement for each alias? Please correct my
syntax if wrong.
I would also have to configure my firewall to redirect those alias
static ip address to the LAN ip address of the servers I want to target?
For some of the remaining static ip address i have not used yet, I would
like to use them for jails. Using the jail option to provide the
interface name to bound to which automatically creates an alias for the
jails ip address at jail start time and also removes it when the jail
stopped. I can do this by creating the jail using one of the unused
static ip address?
