Tell your ISP to drop (would save you bandwidth - if an attack is targeted etc) it as an alternative OR create an ACL on your router. Wilson. On 21 April 2011 15:04, george <theonlydamnedavailablename@gmail.com> wrote:
When you say " to prevent someone from joining my /29 subnet", Do you mean from the LAN or outside?
The /29 block is routed by your ISP to your link. Therefore, whatever IP you are not using is idle and secure. Unless someone uses it within your LAN..

Hi guys,
I have a set of /29 public IP addresses, out of which I need to use.. say three public IP addresses, leaving me with some three free IP addresses since /30 allows for two hosts. I wouldn't want the extra IP addresses to remain unassigned - feels insecure. What would you advise me to do with them, to prevent someone from joining my /29 subnet?? Would it be OK to use them as virtual interfaces to fill up the address space?
Me.
