Public IP addresses on the LAN Ports

We are getting a new connection and were given these instructions:

 

Customer Assigned IP: 205.172.X.X/30

DRF Gateway 205.172.X.X

Customer LAN IPs: 208.111.X.X/28 - 13 Usable IPs: 208.111.X.X  to  208.111.X.X

 

Can you do this with a 60E, have public IPs on the LAN ports?  The devices on the LAN side of the router will have the public IPs 208.111.X.X

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

and welcome to the forums.

Yes, you can use ANY address space on ANY port of a FGT - except for some models with a "mgmt" port. Reason for the latter is that the "mgmt" interface will not be included in routing.

The printed labels on a FGT are just suggestions for the most common use.
