Title: DSR for connection between two LAN subnets
Post by: electranetsolutions on November 30, 2014, 11:05:35 AM
Hello all

I have a DSR router on trial loan and was hoping to use it to connect two different LAN subnets / VLANS to share some resources.

I have a more secure network and a less secure network, my plan was to put the more secure network on the DSR LAN side and the less secure on the WAN side. It is mainly only printing that needs to go between the two at the moment.

I have set up a test rig as follow.

Less secure 192.168.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 Gateway and DNS 192.168.1.1 wiht the DSR WAN port 1 on 192.168.1.3
More  secure 10.0.0.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 Gateway and DNS 10.0.0.1 and DSR LAN port on 10.0.0.2

I also have two computers one on each side 192.168.1.22 and 10.0.0.25

I have set a route on each computer to get to the other subnet but i can only get a ping back from lan side to wan side if I have NAT turned on. I wanted to have the router running classic routing but can get this to work.

Any help or advise would be appreciated.

Hi,

if 10.0.0.1 is the default gateway for clients in your more secure network (the LAN side), the DSR LAN port must own this address (and not 10.0.0.2).
The same is true for WAN1: If 192.168.1.1 is the default gateway for clients in your less secure network (the WAN side), the DSR WAN1 port must own this address (and not 192.168.1.3).

You don't have to configure routes on your clients: If they want to send packets to the other network they send them to their default gateway. Of course you must configure the correct default gateway at each client (10.0.0.1 for clients in the more secure network, 192.168.1.1 for clients in the less secure network). Clients in the more secure network (the LAN side) can get their configuration (including their gateway) via DHCP while clients in the less secure network (the WAN side) probably need to be configured manually.
