Salute everyone.
Here i have some complex setup i need to make. I have look for some answers on the net but cant find one that works.
Equipment: ISP DSL modem (not relevant)
Router 1: Netgear WNDR3800
Router 2: Cisco E1200
2 switches (not relevant)
What: Need to setup two routers with its dhcp and interconnect both networks so devices on each network can change information, like a pc accessing shared files on other pc, or pcs accessing printers on each network.
How: Router 1 is connected to ISP on its wan, a switch is plugged to it and like 10 devices. Till there no problem, DHCP works great no problem. Now, Router 2 plain router with 10 devices, DHCP works great no problem there.
Scopes:
Router 1
ip address: ISP given
mask: ISP given
gateway: ISP given
dns: ISP given
DHCP
router IP address : 192.168.1.1
mask: 255.255.255.0
range of IP: 2-52
Router 2
ip address: not asigned yet
mask:not asigned yet
gateway:not asigned yet
dns:not asigned yet
DHCP
router ip address: 192.168.3.1
mask: 255.255.255.0
rangeof IPs: 2-52
Why: Thing here is that the network 2 on router 2 and all its devices need to be connected to that router for mac issues. and cant be mixed/connected with/to other router. Router 1 network 1 have access to internet thing that network 2 cant have. But need to be able to share information.
What has been done. Form Router 1 have plugged router 2 on its wan port, and let the DHCP on router 1 assign one ip. the the router 2 got, 192.168.1.2 (reserved) mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway: 192.168.1.1
This configuration does not allow devices on network 2 see devices on network 1 nor the other way.
Now i have tried to use static router with no success, first on router 1 i could not make a static route to any ip address on the scope of its own dhcp. like make a static route to 192.168.1.2.. that is not possible. i have tried to then assign static ip address to router 2 192.168.2.1 then i can assign static route on router 1. but still no access.
i have tried also to turn on both routers the Dynamic routing setting RIP, but nothing seems to happen. the routers supposed to interchange routing tables but cant get access either.
Tried also to merge the networks on the same scope but for some reason cant handle to work.
router 1 ip range 192.168.1.1-52 router 2 ip assigned but router 1: 192.168.1.2 and range 192.168.1.53-106
What is not a solution, turn off dhcp on router 2, cause router 2 network 2 needs to be able to assign its own ip address for mac issues.
Any thought, ideas, solutions?
Regards
