I have three IP TV boxes in my home that need direct access to my Internet provider. But I need everything else to be run through my router. I can't just hardwire the ports the IPTV boxes are on to the outside because those ports are connected to switches that also have my wifi and media streaming devices on them.
For example, I have this configuration in my living room:
|-----BASEMENT---------------|------------LIVING ROOM---------------------------|
Internet -> router -> switch -> switch -> [ IPTV, Roku, Home Wifi, Game Console ]
My Internet provider gives me a total of 4 addresses:
- 1 IP address for my Internet use
- 1 IP address specially assigned to each of my 3 IPTV boxes
What router feature do I need to configure to say that the devices with the IPTVs' MAC addresses are special and should not be part of my internal network, but allowed direct access to the outside?
