I'm a bit of a novice with Cisco routers, so please forgive me if
I do not explain this clearly. Our company has a T1 line that
connects through our Cisco 877 router. We have been given a block of
public IP addresses (3 I think), but are currently only using one of
these addresses. We would like to use one of the other public IP
addresses for our ftp server. I already know how to port forward the
traffic to the secondary IP address, like so:

ip nat inside source static tcp x.x.x.x 21 x.x.x.x 21 extendable

But, if I do this, the ip inspection rules that are being applied
to the public IP address I use now (x.x.x.y) are not being applied to
this connection. In particular:

ip inspect name CBAC-FTP ftp

interface FastEthernet 4
ip address x.x.x.y 255.255.255.248
....
ip inspect CBAC-FTP in

I have read that you can add a secondary ip address to the same
interface. Is this what I would have to do in this situation or is
there another preferred method of handling this?

interface FastEthernet 4
ip address x.x.x.y 255.255.255.248
ip address x.x.x.x 255.255.255.248 secondary (Should I do this?)

Thank you for your assistance.

Vincent

Vincent,
You don't have to add a secondary ip to the outside interface.
Adding the "ip inspect" CBAC-FTP in" command to the Fa4 interface will
inspect the FTP traffic coming into the interface.

What you have there seems to be correct.
What leads you to believe that the traffic coming in the interface is
not being inspected?

JC,

The traffic coming into the Fa4 interface IS being inspected on
the IP address assigned to this interface (x.x.x.x), but it IS NOT on
the IP address that is being port forwarded (x.x.x.y). If I try to
perform passive ftp over x.x.x.x, it works correctly but it does not
over x.x.x.y. I hope I explained this somewhat clearly.
