IP allocation

Hi! I need advice for setting up my network.

I have 23.130.212.0/24, and I want to assign a /29 to a router. My border router is a mikrotik and the router I want to assign the /29 to is a Unifi box.

Advice?

can you show your network topography? are you trying to set up an Internet service that needs to put out like a website or do you just need connection to the internet?

Lavender-Jamie

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:23 AM

One is the border which connects up to VANIX and HE.

Lavender-Jamie

The other two connects to the border.

guninvalid? more like stupidvali

G

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/8/25, 2:24 AM

ok so you have your opennet router and your innernet router

Lavender-Jamie

L

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:24 AM

Yes.

guninvalid? more like stupidvali

G

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/8/25, 2:24 AM

for your opennet is that supposed to be for server traffic? do you have some servers that need to receive connections from the public internet?

Lavender-Jamie

L

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:24 AM

Innernet works.

Lavender-Jamie

L

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:25 AM

Uh so innernet are for server traffic. Opennet is for like VPNs.

guninvalid? more like stupidvali

G

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/8/25, 2:25 AM

ok let me take this one at a time

guninvalid? more like stupidvali

G

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/8/25, 2:26 AM

you say innernet is working, what services are in there and which are working? presumably all of them but which?

Lavender-Jamie

L

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:26 AM

Well working as in it is reachable from the no default zone.

Lavender-Jamie

L

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:27 AM

Sorry I mean default free zone.

guninvalid? more like stupidvali

G

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/8/25, 2:27 AM

what's the default free zone?

Lavender-Jamie

L

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:28 AM

Well uhhh the zone of the internet that can reach every part of the internet without using default routes.

guninvalid? more like stupidvali

G

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/8/25, 2:28 AM

you typically don't need to have multiple public IPs unless you have services to render

Lavender-Jamie

L

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:29 AM

Well I have a /24 so…

guninvalid? more like stupidvali

G

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/8/25, 2:29 AM

if you do have services to render, i.e. web server or dns or whatever, it's common practice to set it so 1 ip does 1 service

Lavender-Jamie

L

Lavender-JamieOP•9/8/25, 2:30 AM

And I do have multiple services to render. With IPv4 exhaustion tho I prefer to port forward and use reverse proxies.

guninvalid? more like stupidvali

G

guninvalid? more like stupidvali•9/8/25, 2:30 AM

i.e. ns1.service.com would get 212.241, ns2.service.com would get 212.242
