Cox CIDR block configuration

[Kevin Fries]

To me it sounds like enterprise class service with a redundant uplink.  If
that is the case you may be seeing one of two situations.

1. Both the 70 and 24 addresses are routing to you probably in a bound
connection.  If this is the case the 70 is probably your public IP and the
24 is a redundant link for failover and the 70 IP will be redirected if 70
is not available, but you will get 1/2 speed.

2. 24 is you completely failiver circuit.  It will behave like option 1
except either circuit can carry the full load.

Either way it sounds like the 70. Address is your public IP for all intents
and purposes.

Can anyone else with Cox Business Class confirm that?  I have only set up
Cox at home for my mom.

sounds like they have already done the routing. Do I need to do something
else? They said I need a special router with 2 WAN ports.

addresses are identical, the only difference is how it is specified. Some
devices prefer one way, other devices prefer the other, and some will take
either:

correct?
