Re: [Guide] Router Mode Setup
said by dbmaven  :Question: in specifying the WAN side, do the DNS server entries need to be set ? And the DEFAULT GATEWAY should be the LAN side address of ROUTER 1? Specify DNS and gateway as the LAN side IP of router 1. 192.168.3.1 in your case.
quote:
Specify STATIC ROUTE in Router 1 setup
DESTINATION LAN IP - would be the LAN side of Router 2 - in my list above it would be 192.168.2.2/255.255.255.0
DEFAULT GATEWAY would be the WAN side address of Router 2 - in my list above it would be 192.168.3.254
Static routes are specified as: destination mask gateway.
For the destination, you want to use the network address not the IP address of the router. The network address for 192.168.2.2 / 255.255.255.0 is 192.168.2.0/24 (192.168.2.0 / 255.255.255.0)
.
.
With 192.168.2.0/24 you have:
192.168.2.0 = network address
192.168.2.1 = first usable IP address
192.168.2.254 = last usable IP address
192.168.2.255 = broadcast address
Network and broadcast address are not usable.
So static route for router 1 to router 2 = 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.254 |
