newb routing query to the cab
 

Hi,

I'm new to the datacentre scene and have recently bought a full cabinet at a local datacentre.

I have bought a block of IP Addresses from their supplier and I'm a little confused on how the routing of those addresses get to the servers.

At first I thought the routing is done at their end and all I would need is a layer 2 or better switch but this isn't the case. The routing is done at the cabinet end.

They say that the first IP is the network last is broadcast etc which is standard but there is no default gateway.

I don't want to NAT anything I want to use the public addresses for my servers NIC's.

Can anyone explain where I go from here?
