PortMaster products only support one (1) ip address per interface, and PortMasters allow only one interface per ethernet port. So it looks like you will have to set the connection up to be a numbered interface. If you don't have any IP address subnets to use on this numbered connection then you could use a subnet out of 192.168.0.0 which has been set aside for just this sort of thing. The only drawback is that packets orginating from the IRX are not routable on the internet since the src ip address of the orginated packets is bogus (192.168.x.x). This generally does not pose a problem since routers primarily forward packets, not generate packets.
