How can I First, we need a bit more information about the current setup of your network... 1. Are these 2 * /24 networks consecutive, or are they non-consecutive /24 networks? 2. Does your current firewall have multiple interfaces, one per /24 internal network, or does the current firewall perform the routing between these different networks by using "ipalias" or similar multiple IP assignment to its one internal interface? 3. Are these three /24 networks needed to separate secure from insecure traffic, for example to separate accounting, HR and the rest of your traffic? If not, I assume that the traffic on any network could/would be allowable on any of the other networks. > a) Add multiple IP's and gateways to the WAN interface and save it in > the configuration? > > b) Add multiple IP's to the LAN interface without gateways? > > c) Do I need to make the wan have the /24 and the LAN /32?
