I just added a small network and the upstream provider gave me a /27 and is using the first IP address as the gateway on his side. Normally I would get a /30 between the upstream and me, but in this case he opted to do this instead.

The way that I setup the routing did not seem to work.

I setup the WAN port as 10.10.10.2/30 with the gateway as 10.10.10.1 (using private numbers as example not the real public ones)

I then setup a network of 10.10.10.17/28 on Port 2

I cannot ping 10.10.10.17

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

It's the best practice...

You must put all on the same lan: ether1 and all other public IP user...

Your provider NOT have a route like "if you search 10.10.10.17 goto 10.10.10.2", but only
"if you search 10.10.10.0/27 goto it by 10.10.10.1"
if you can not add route on your provider gateway, you must put all on the same LAN, without sub-net...
