Trying to link two subnets together with a Linksys router
One subnet is 10.1.1.x and the other is 192.168.1.x.
I have 3 routers. One acting as the Default Gateway for the 192 subnet and the other acting as Gateway for the 10 subnet. The 3rd router, a Linksys RVS4000 will be connected in between the other two routers to statically route the traffic from one network to the other Gateway.
Now I should be able to set up the Linksys router to have one IP on the LAN and another IP on the WAN. I should then be able to plug the one network into the LAN port and the other into the WAN port.
Then on each Gateway, I will forward traffic for the other subnet onto the Linksys router, which will be forwarded onto the other Gateway.
So it should be something like this.
Gateway 1:10.1.1.1
Gateway 2:192.168.1.1
The Linksys will be one IP higher for each subnet.
So Gateway 1 (10.1.1.1) will forward all traffic for 192.168.1.x onto the Linksys router (10.1.1.2) thorugh the WAN port.
Gateway 2 (192.168.1.1) will forward all traffic for 10.1.1.x onto the Linksys router (192.168.1.2) through the LAN port.
The Linksys router will have static routing setup that will look like this:
Destination Subnet Mask Default Gateway Hops
10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1 2
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 2
Does this look correct? Is there any reason that this wouldnt work, that I am missing?
Any help or suggestions would be great.
