Hello guys,
I need help configuring my network. There are about 100 devices on the network right now in the range 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 . There are about 10 workstations I need to remain on the same network, but I also need a second NIC on each one connected to a separate network.
The purpose is to allow traffic from a specific piece of software to travel on its own network and to keep it private.
We have Mediacom, who provide us 1 modem. We have a block of 5 static IP addresses. Behind the modem, there are 2 NAT routers and 2 switches.
Can anyone tell me how to physically configure the routers so they can both be connected and provide their own set of IP addresses via DHCP? Can both routers be connected to the same physical network without having to be connected to each other? Or will one router have to connect to a LAN port of the other router?
I would like to think I can configure the static IP information on each router and just connect them both to the same switch. However, that seems to easy and I’m sure it is probably wrong.
If anyone can help me figure this out I would be very grateful.
Thank you!
