Hi @ESM60
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
This description is not clear.
First, the switch can only get a single IP address from the router A and B unless you have configure them into a different VLAN.
For the default VLAN 1, you only get one IP from them.
The other one should be placed in another VLAN. Or it does not work because it gets an IP one at a time. It could switch between A and B.
Then, do you intend to place them in different VLANs? A and B.
Second, for the ETH3 4 5, that VLAN config and DHCP would be fine. But this switch does not support Static Routing and DHCP.
Overall, I don't think it is possible.
In the end, I recommend you read what solution and configuration we have on the forum. Something might do what you need in a simpler way. With your current devices, not everything is possible. It is not a matter of the switch but your router.
Not to mention this is a layer 2 switch with very basic config.

Hello,
Tks for the tips. Well I will set up a simpler configuration (2 small unmanaged switches each to its own router) Maybe this requires a more powerful fully managed switch but it is not a must for me at this point. Anyway tks agian for your support and pls close this case.
