3 Routers, Two Subnet and Two Internet Connection


Recommended Posts

Hi,

We have two subnets linked together and two seperate routers that pipe

out to the Internet, with another router joining the two subnets

together. We need one subnet to use one Internet connection and the

other subnet to use the other Internet connection. At the moment, it

is set up as follows:

 

Internet Connection (External IP) -> Router A (192.168.0.31) -> Subnet

A -> Router B (Subnet A,192.168.0.42), (Subnet B, 192.168.1.1) ->

Subnet B -> Router C (192.168.1.31) -> Internet Connection (External

IP)

 

I've managed to set it up so Subnet A and B can talk to each other,

and one of the subnet can get out onto their Internet, but I'm unable

to get it so they can both get out onto their seperate Internet

connections. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks.

Well this is not realy a 2003 Server problem but ok.....

 

Have you looked at the default gateway in each subnet?

Just a guess, but try the following.

 

- Set all PC's to use 192.168.0.0/23 as their network. (IP 192.168.x.x with

a mask of 255.255.254.0)

- Put the IP of Router A on the first half of the subnet (such as

192.168.0.1)

- Put the IP of Router B on the second half of the subnet (such as

192.168.1.1)

- Set the default gateway on subnet A PC's to 192.168.0.1 (Router A)

- Set the default gateway on subnet B PC's to 192.168.1.1 (Router B)

- Connect the LAN side of Router A to the LAN side of Router B

(assuming you have two seperate internet connections...)

- Connect the WAN port of Router A to Internet connection #1

- Connect the WAN port of router B to Internet connection #2

(assuming you have one internet connection...)

- Put the WAN ports of your router into a switch

- Connect your internet to the switch

 

You shouldn't need Router C at all.

 

If you want failover, should one internet connection go down, you could add

the opposite gateway to the TCP/IP settings with a higher metric. This will

let the PC try it's normal connection first, then the second gateway should

the first not work.

Thanks for your help guys. Sorry, I probably should have given more

details. Unfortunately, I need the two subnets as I've got two

separate sites set up in Active Directory Sites and Services.

Re: 3 Routers, Two Subnet and Two Internet Connection

 

For each subnet/segment, you need to set every machine to use the local

Internet router as its default gateway. This will get you Internet access

through the local internet router, but will kill LAN to LAN routing.

 

To get LAN routing back, set a static route on each gateway router to

bounce the local traffic to the LAN router (ie router B). eg

 

Internet

|

router A

192.168.0 31

|

LAN A clients

192.168.0 x dg 192.168.0.31

|

192.168.0.42 dg blank

router B

192.168.1.1 dg blank

|

LAN B clients

192.168.1.x dg 192.168.1.31

|

192.168.1.31

router C

|

Internet

 

On router A you need a static route

192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.42

to get traffic for LAN B to the internal router.

 

On router C you need a static route

192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

to get trffic for LAN A to the internal router.
