I have followed the below article: https://networklessons.com/uncategorized/cisco-3g-configuration-example/
and I have one question for you; I need to connect a cisco 810 series router to WAN interface of a firewall FortiGate; I need a public ip on WAN interface for use DDNS, I want to wake up an IPsec tunnel on a firewall and use router for internet access.

How can I configure Cisco Router for getting a dynamic public ip on WAN interface of the firewall?

Regards.

Hi JM,

If I got this right, your router is in between your ISP and the Fortinet firewall?

Cisco IOS routers have “routed” interfaces so each interface has a different IP address / subnet. However, it is possible to bridge interfaces. If you bridge two interfaces then the interface will work similar to switchports.

Here is a simple example how you can bridge two Gigabit interfaces:

bridge crb

bridge 1 protocol ieee

interface gi0/1
bridge-group 1

interface gi0/2
bridge-group 1

With this configuration, these Gigabit interfaces act like switch ports. If Gi0/1 is connected to the ISP and Gi0/2 to the Fortinet firewall, then your firewall will be in the same subnet as the ISP router.
