I already do that with a switch on my desk to go from one IP domain to the other to compensate the limitation of the Multicam CNC ... I need to be in the same IP domain ... I just pull a plug and insert it into another and I am into the right domain ... but ... for the IoT router from the Office ... work in progress ...If you can't make it all work a work around is to unplug and plug into a different network or join a different wireless on a different network. Just bounce around from network to network. That will work for a while.
That you are 100% right ... I really don't know what I'm doing ... having some difficulties with the concepts ...I think you are confusing yourself between firewalls and networks. Address each separately.
Am I the only one here who's never heard of an "escape room concept" in relation to network design?Good thing then that it is for my office and a personnal project (the one with the 10 ports) where things will be much simpler since everything will be by design ... (escape room concept) ...
Sorry about that one ... has nothing to do with network design ... the escape room concept is a game for kids or for team building in short groups ... have to solve different puzzles to be able to get out of the room ! uses many raspberries and wifi and all ... for the events of the electronics ... using MQTT broker and all ... does that help ? lolAm I the only one here who's never heard of an "escape room concept" in relation to network design?
Only to confirm that I'm too old.... does that help ? lol
Trust me ... I was ... three weeks ago lol didn't know what it was either until they showed it to me ... but not connected to any computer ... therefore my presence ... the wow factor for those guys ... chapeau (I pull my hat) So I'm having fun designing something for the big kids in us allOnly to confirm that I'm too old.
LOL again, I like to understand what needs to be done ... be it hard or not ... I am not changing the equipment ... I live with it and make it what it can ... but it should be a no brainer ... everywhere we get access to different network so it should only be a mater of doing the right thing to make it work ...I hate DHCP and firewalls in multiple locations. It is part of the clumsy which I don't like. Use a business class router and you will have it all in 1 location which will be much simpler.
If you wanted specific help configuring your routers rather than general suggestions you should have stated clearly from the outset that you are using EdgeRouters. You've only mentioned that once in passing in post #15.From what I understand, I need to define a static route from the office to the IoT going through the Border ... and change the links between the routers not to do masquerade between them ... easy to say ... now I want to know how to do it ... saw some errors in my rules ... will try that this weekend when I don't need the internet so much lol
That would explain a lot lolSteve Gibson's 3 router setup is for consumer routers with no VLAN support.
