Re: VMB Setup 5 static IP help please

This should work well.

You are right - the Hitron will have the first IP address of the block you are assigned. You then assign the others as needed on your devices sitting behind the Hitron.

All of your devices will need the WAN grateway set to be the IP address of the Hitron

Given you have the 5 address allocation the subnet mask of the devices behind the hitron will be 255.255.255.248

Given you will be using routers you said - of course their LAN interfaces can have whatever subnet mask you need for the networks they are connected to on the LAN side.

Yes your Asus can handle DHCP for your network.
I am not familiar with the Asus, if it supports multiple IP addresses on it's WAN interface that you can map to 'internal' device you can assign more than one of your static IP addresses to the Asus. I do this now but am using a Draytek 2960. Darytek call this config multi-nat. Not all domestic routers support it.

However if you don't have multi nat support - you can still do port forwarding as you must be doing now with your residential setup.

Yes putting your SHUB3 in modem mode is as close as you can get to the Hitron with fixed IP setup.
