If you had just a line of fiber coming down, then it would work something like this: 1. ISP configures router to route packets for subnet XXX down interface 2. You reconfig your systems to point at the router for the gateway and reset their netmasks appropriately. On FreeBSD machines this means adding a default route to the gateway, something like this: route add default 128.223.170.1 where 128.223.170.1 is your router. (it's mine 9 months out of the year) This is a really simplistic case and assumes you don't have another router-type device (router/firewall) at the end of the feed from your ISP.
