Connecting two ER7212PC through WAN port
Hi,
Is it possible to connect two ER7212PC's via the WAN ports, each with a different subnet via DHCP, and still be able to access devices on both networks?
So:
Router 1:
static Internet IP / WAN: 192.168.4.1
DHCP IP range: 192.168.5.1/50
Router 2:
static Internet IP / WAN: 192.168.4.2
DHCP IP range: 192.168.6.1/50
I would like to connect these two to eachother, but I can't add the devices in de GUI.
My goal is:
And I'd like to see the video from the 3 cameras connected to ROUTER 1 while I'm connected to router 2. What should I do to ensure that router 1 forwards all its information to router 2?
Hi @SCMAF
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
To meet the network requirements, please check the configuration suggestions below:
1. Launch to your site on ER7212PC 1, the Router 1, and go to Network Config>Transmission>Routing>Static Route to add an entry and allow the access to Router 2. (You can configure the Router 2 the same way.)
2. You may refer to this guide How to Disable NAT on Omada Gateway to disable the NAT on both router to allow external traffic for each other.
3. Test connectivity: Ping a camera on router 1 (e.g., 192.168.5.10) from a device connected to router 2 (e.g., a PC with IP 192.168.6.x).
