How to configure Cisco 871 for 2 external static IP addresses to 2 VLANs

by tkman28 . Updated 16 years, 5 months ago

HI all.
I am hoping there is a kind and generous sole out there who is familiar with Cisco routers and configuring ones like the 871.

Here’s the intended network setup.

One primary external IP static address:
200.200.237.216
Mapped to this is a block of static ip address from the IS provider. 200.200.229.128 to 200.200.229.136. I can only use 129 to 135.
I want to map 2 of these to internal networks through the 871 router.
I have set the router wan port fe4 to 200.200.237.216.
I have set up vlan1, vlan2, and vlan3.
vlan1 associated with fe0 and ip 192.168.10.1.
vlan2 associated with fe1 and ip 192.168.11.1
vlan3 associated with fe2 and ip 192.168.12.1

fe1 will be connected to an internal router that needs to be assigned an IP address that is visible externally. I was going to assign this 200.200.229.129.
Fe2 will be connected to a separate router and network that will need to be assigned one of the exposed static IP addresses like 200.200.229.130.

How do I link vlan2 with ip 192.168.11.1 to the router attached to fe1 that has an ip address of 200.200.229.129?

Here’s where my ignorance and limits of routing knowledge becomes obvious.
I had expected to be able to set up a static route from vlan1 (the wan associated with fe4) to vlan2 (the lan associated with fe1).
I thought I could enter route 192.168.10.1 to 192.168.11.1 and a mask of 255.255.1.1.
When I try this I am getting an error with inconsistent address and mask.
I’m sure it’s simple for an experienced Cisco person but I’m stumped.
Any suggestions?
