I asked for an extra IP from the ISP. For that they had given me /29 IP block.
They said that they will work under the old pilot IP which was already given by ISP.
That IP was configured WAN1 and internet are working well. But I need to use that additional IP under firewall.
Because i am going to host one web application server. For that server i need to configure public IP directly.
If it comes under the server means i can able manage and control who are all want access the app server.
I am using FG101E.
Hello @spmbalamurugan ,
If my understanding is correct, your ISP has provided you a /29 subnet that you can use for your internal servers. If that is the case, you can configure a VIP on your FortiGate that will forward traffic from that VIP to your web application server. You can then configure proper firewall policies for the web application access.

Hi @spmbalamurugan ,
If you can use one WAN interface only, you may configure the second /29 IP block to your current WAN interface as the secondary IP.
It's common way for an ISP provide additional IPs (a block of IPs) over the interface subnet (/30 ro /31). Packets destined to those totally 8 IPs (full /29 subnet IPs) would be delivered to your wan interface IP so that you can either route them through a LAN side interface or map them to private/internal IPs by VIPs.
If you want the server to have one of /29 IPs without a VIP, you can assign one of the /29 IPs on the FGT LAN interface (or a VLAN interface) and make it the server's GW IP. That's the traditional way to do "routing" the public IPs when an L3 router without VIP capability terminates the ISP interface.
