hello,
I see that you can get a single network card with 2, 3, 4 connections.
Can you happily make each one on a separate private address block ?
10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, 192.168.0.0
My firewall (yes, it runs Debian) has an Intel 4x 1gig ethernet
card in it, as well as the 1 gig port on the motherboard. Each
is completely independent, so I have:
- one connection to the public Internet
- one connection to my switched network of wifi access points
- one connection to my general wired network switch
- one connection to my remote power switch
- and a free connection for the future.
Each of these has one or more different IP addresses, including
IPv6 on three ports, and packets are routed between them and
blocked by the firewall.
