MX95 and router IP's
Hi all,
Scenario
ISP has provided a WAN public /30 and a LAN Public IP /29 which routes to the /30
I have two MX95's which I need to configure in some form of HA.
I can obviously configure the /30 as an uplink IP on one of the MX's however, I'm confused as to it it's possible to use the /29 instead?

I guess the /30 is the WAN IP of the Device the ISP provided to you.
This means the range you can use is the /29
If it is this way, you can not use the /30 and you have to uses the addresses out of the /29 for the MX

Both MXes need to be on the same subnet, that is, you need at least a /29 for the public network.
The option you have in this case is to configure a private IP on the WAN of the MXes, but for that you need to have a NAT for the exit to the internet for this private subnet.
I don't know if you understand?
Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.

We HA our MX85s and are not hosting anything behind them
-/29 WAN public, no LAN publics needed
-Single handoff from ISP that is plugged into our LAN switch as a breakout for the MXs
-Use 3 IPs, 1 VIP, and each MX

As already mentioned you need 3 Public IPs, 1 for each MX and one for the VIP.

correctly said by @DarrenOC .. Generally needed 3 Public IPs for an HA setup
1- Device
2- Spare
3-VIP
