Help me setup 2 public IPs on our firewall

[Over Clocker]

Hi guys,

We have a Sonicwall TZ180 firewall, and 2 public IPs provided by our internet service.

So far we've been using one public IP, which is the WAN IP on the firewall, and we have some access rules setup for port forwarding.

We now have a need to run 2 websites on port 443 on 2 different virtual servers, so we need to use the 2nd public IP that we have, but I have no idea how to configure this on the firewall.

Any help would be great!

Just been doing some more reading, will I need to put a switch in between the WAN switch and the Firewall, and plug the server requiring the 2nd public IP directly into in with the public IP as its static IP, with the rest plugged into the firewall?

Thanks,

Mal

If I understand right,

you have a no nat WAN router than connects to a firewall,

you need to plug the WAN router into a switch,

then simply plug the firewall into the switch, and the new box...

you can always user host headers to have several web sites on the same port on the same box.

(you tell the web server that www.a.com goes to web site 1, and www.b.com goes to web site 2)

Thanks for that.

I was considering host headers, but this is for https port 443 sites, so I don't think that will work easily!

Cheers,

Which version of SonicOS is the TZ running - Standard or Enhanced?

That makes a big difference in setting up the port foward. Everything can stay behind the SonicWall.

Hi, it is standard:

SonicOS Standard 3.9.0.1-7s

Cheers,

Hello Chris,

Thank you very much for the pointers. I will try these now!

One question - If I create a new rule for HTTPS from * to 192.168.1.11, will this not conflict to the existing HTTPS rule I have from * to 192.168.1.13?

Hi Chris,

Thank you for that. Now have them both working alongside each other.

Thanks!!
