routers in series on separate subnet

I just got the E4200 to replace the modem/router to my provider and I need help with the Setup. What complicates this is that the router of the provider of also provides internet, also (with decoder) TV and phone.

What I want to achieve:

1 E4200 as main router (I guess I clone the MAC of the original router). This router will provide the connection for my work, PC and Synology NAS

2. the router of the provider of series, such as if possible, PCs on ROUTER1 have access to services on the 2 (VoIP) router, but not the reverse.

3. 2 routers/nets with own SSID

The questions is how to connect and configure two routers, as I keep the phone and the television on the router of the provider. WAN to LAN or LAN to LAN.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you

Large. Appreciate it. He will give a try.

I just plugged in the installation CD and is already almost 20 minutes telling me "download updates". I hope it ends soon, so that I can start the installation.

This is the first time I use the software for the configuration, but I noticed yesterday that even if you go the routers IP, it asks you first install the software.

Thanks to you all.

  • Addition of wireless routers in series with the existing network

    I have a client who wants to add at least 3 Wireless throughout their existing network routers. The problem is that these routers must be in the same subnet as the existing network. Oh, we use routers Linksys WRT610N. By default, routers set up a new subnet with a DHCP assigned IP of the primary subnet. I was able to change the static WAN IP, but I do not know how to configure the rest. The point of this is that if a user connected via the ethernet cable or wireless signal, they should be able to access the same network resources. I chatted with support, but they are not allowed to help what it isn't is not a "standard" configuration Anyone can shed some light on this subject? I've done this before with another customer, but its been a few years and it's a different router.

    Thank you!

    You don't want a router. You want a wireless access point. You have wireless routers that you do not use as routers, but only as access points. A router by definition routes traffic between several subnets connected to the various interfaces (LAN and WAN). This kind of configuration is not what the WRT is built for and that's why support said you that it is not a standard configuration for a WRT.

    You can use a WRT as simple access point.

    Reconfigure the router via its web interface. Connect a computer to the router first.

    1. set the LAN IP address on a free IP address in the existing network.
    2. make sure NOT to set a static IP address on the type of internet connection.
    3. on the main configuration page turn off the DHCP server.
    4. now save the settings. You will lose the connection.
    5. unplug the computer and one of the numbered LAN ports of wire to your existing network.

    Now you can access the web interface of the WRT to the new LAN IP address. All wired to the other 3 LAN ports and everything wirelessly connected has access to the network directly.

  • Can the interface of management firepower & ASA-Inside interface be on separate subnet?

    HI -.

    Need a few more details, please.

    I have a requirment needed to put the power of fire management interface and the interface of the ASA-Inside on different subnets, supports?

    From what I've read so far, most of the document suggests to put two interfaces on the same subnet, is there a reason to do so?

    I may be wrong but I think that fire use management interface to communicate with FireSight for control and comamnd traffic, data traffic real plan always flows from ASA-outside to inside and vice versa, both there are connectivity ip between FireSight and firepower, it should be ok, right? or am I totally wrong, that they must be on the same subnet?

    ASA5515-x with the firepower 5.3.1

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Separate subnets are fine.

    As you have seen correctly - the module of firepower has need to contact FireSIGHT Management Center (IP-wise).

    This path is completely independent of the plan through the ASA data path. The ASA redirects the traffic via the service strategy for the module of firepower entirely internally to the unit.

  • separate subnets for the ESX/ESXi management ports (vMotion, manage, FT, etc..)

    Is it better to have all of your VMKernel ports on the same subnet or subnets separate (one for each role, iSCSI, management, vMotion, FT)?  Are their potential problems with either scenario?  Please include the ESX and ESXi.  I want to get my setup just as it should. Please let me know also if you need additional information.

    I have licenses for ESX and ESXi, but I'm leaning toward ESXi are all vSphere 4 Update 1.

    Hello

    In fact, you have to use separate subnets for your vmkernel ports but they can run on the same thread. You can share a subnet between a vmkernel and service console, but not between two vmkernels. Just like that. So yes, you need to use several subnets.

  • Want to connect two routers in series, both are from Dlink but different models.

    Hi all, I just moved into a new place here it was very impossible to get the network the current router wireless, so I ran an Ethernet (cat 5e) cable out of reach (i.e. many sites say the maximum range is about 328 feet (100 meters), I ran about 400 feet), but works fine when I connect the Ethernet cable directly to my laptop , but when I tried to connect the Ethernet cable to the router from the same company but a different model. First router is directly connected to the modem and it is Dlink 628 and the second who I am trying to connect is Dlink 601. One end of the cable is connected to the router first in a LAN port and the Internet port on the second router.

    Now the problem is my laptop connects to the first router cable and works fine and also connection to the second router, but I couldn't access the Internet. what I would do.

    Please help and thank you.

    You don't want to use the second router as a router, but as an access point. Disable DHCP on the second router. See the Web of D-Link tech site or the manual on how to do it. Make sure that the second router has an IP address outside the range of the DHCP of the router first, but on the same subnet. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How to create a vSwitch for separate subnet

    I have a vSwitch that is configured for management and my vm port groups. This vSwitch is on the 192.168.5.x subnet. I want to welcome a few vm on a subnet of 172.16.30.x. I created a second vSwitch for it and selected the option port of vm group during the creation of the switch, but I was not able to assign an IP address for the network card. I then deleted and recreated the vSwitch using an option of VKernel and it allowed me to add an IP address. What is the correct way to do this?

    I thought that the vKernel was only for vMotion, storage, management, and fault tolerance. I do not use a vlan. What is the correct way to do the above?

    Thank you

    Create a new vSwitch with virtual machine port group and connect uplink with vSwitch and assign different subnet to the virtual machine ip address and it is not necessary to assign the ip address to physical NIC and one more thing, even you can do it on the same vSwitch old also.

  • Network: 2 routers Apple broadcasting separate wireless networks; one (Xfinity/Comcast) cable modem

    Hello community!  Need help, I want to use two routers to establish two separate wireless networks on a cable modem connection.  I searched for my answer and see some other threads on this topic, but all are either a bit too technical for me, are incomplete on the answers to my questions - and all seem to be locked.  I have also searched YouTube and only see videos to extend a network with two routers - not my goal.  So here is a long, but a detailed post on what I need someone help with - thank you very much in advance if anyone can all small-not me-I hope it will be useful to others in the future.

    The program installation/hardware: I have internet Comcast/Xfinity that runs to a Motorola surfboard cable modem (SB6141).  I also have two routers apple - a Time Capsule from Apple AirPort (to end 2013) and a new (2016) AirPort Extreme.

    Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

    My plan is to have the cable modem Surfboard connect to airport Time Capsule, which will then connect to AirPort Extreme (even if it could be reverse - no difference, except that the data that I show below comes from the time Capsule, which is currently connected to the modem cable).

    To read the previous discussions, it seems that the starting point would be: modem router #1 Ethernet WAN, then a router cable #1 LAN Ethernet to the Router #2.

    First issue of clarification - the connecting cable should go to the Ethernet WAN port on the Router #2 or a LAN Ethernet port?

    Now that the first easy question is the road, I need help to configure two routers connected to allow two separate networks.  A lot of discussions about the positions of static IP addresses, cascade, etc..  I need specific help with AirPort Utility on what to change on what router.  It seems obvious that the settings under the 'Internet' and 'Network' tabs are those who need to set - the 'wireless' tabs simply treats the name of the wireless network and settings - these, at least I can understand!

    I'll organise this tabbed - here go us.

    First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

    Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

    This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

    It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

    If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

    Next up, the 'Network' tab utility AirPort/window.

    Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

    If I click on the 'Network Options' button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the "Networking Options" window Here I have areas of entry to specify the DHCP lease duration, can specify the DHCP IPv4 range, as well as part of the extended DHCP IPv4 comments.  There are checkboxes: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Select the host by default (with input if selected text box); Enable the IGMP Snooping; Block incoming IPv6 connections; Allow the Teredo Tunnels; and allow inbound IPSec authentication.

    For this window, here is the current settings on the Router #1:

    DHCP lease is 1 day; Beach DHCP IPv6 is 10.1.2 to 200; Hosts IPv4 DHCP Range is 172.16.42.2 to 200.  The following check boxes are enabled/checked: enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol. Block incoming IPv6 connections; And allow inbound IPSec authentication.

    Who can help me? What parameters, if all do I need to change the #1 router?  How to set up router #2 to make a second wireless network?

    Purpose: This is what I need--I need two separate wireless networks.  Before going further, by using the guest account and 5 GHz of a single router isn't an option for me.  I need to have both wireless networks separate (one of each router), do not talk to each other, or allow access between the two - the only is that they share the Comcast internet gateway.

    What you really need is a combination router / Ethernet switches that s supports VLANdedicated. Given that Apple routers do not, at best, you can potentially get the results that you are looking for, but at a performance cost. In other words, you can have two separate WiFi networks where clients connected to a network can not 'see' those related to another and both routers will always provide access to the Internet through Comcast modem. Note: Arris / Motorola SB6141 isn't a gateway device. Instead, it's a simple modem. A gateway is a router modem combination.

    To do this, should do the following:

    • The Time Capsule (TC) would need to be directly connected to the modem using an Ethernet cable. This base station would remain in its default configuration of the router. In other words, the router Mode (in AirPort Utility) would establish: DHCP and NAT.
    • AirPort Extreme would be directly linked to TB by Ethernet. The cable must be connected to one of the LAN ports on the TC on the WAN port to the extreme. It must also be configured as a router. However, there are differences in the extreme:
      • Use a different name to the Wi - Fi network.
      • Use another range of IP DHCP address. By default, Apple base stations use IP addresses in the 10.0.x.x range. I suggest that you set the base station of the second on 192.168.x.x range.

    There is a major drawback with this configuration. The second base station will be in a State of "Double NAT". Although this "separating" the two networks on different subnets, this condition is not very effective and connected to this network of customers will get lower throughput performance. There is no way around it and it is not recommended.

    First of all, the "Internet" tab/window Airport utility. Here are the options:

    Connect using: Router #1 has currently DHCP (which I think is OK?) What should it be set to Router #2?

    The two should be: DHCP.

    This tab lists also the current address in IPv4, the (255.255.254.0) subnet mask and the router address.

    These leave it as what. The TC is information of IP address of the modem. The extreme, he'll get the TC.

    It has grayed out information in the boxes for the DNS servers; Name of domain and DNS IPv6 servers.  At the bottom of the window, there is an IPv6 Internet WAN address listed.

    These leave it as what.

    If I click on the "Internet Options" button at the bottom of the window, it takes me to the 'Internet Options' window. Here, there are various IPv6 information - it seems that I can choose the configuration of IPv6 and the IPv6 mode using the drop down boxes/selections were also chosen.  There is also a checkbox 'Enable IPv6 connection sharing'. Are the current settings for these for Router #1: configure IPv6: automatically; IPv6 mode: Native; and check/yes to enable sharing of IPv6.

    Unless your ISP provides your IPv6 service, change the IPv6 configuration option to: 'Link-local only' on two base stations.

    Here, there is a drop-down menu "Router Mode", a DHCP range listed, and the ability to add or remove reservations DHCP and Port settings.  The DHCP range listed for Router #1 is 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.  There is currently no reserves DHCP or specified Port settings.  Finally, there is a checkbox to the bottom to "Activate the access control" - it is not currently checked/enabled.

    Router mode should be: DHCP and NAT to two base stations. Ignore the DHCP reservations and Port settings for now. Let the current DHCP range for the TC. Change the DHCP range for extreme for: 192.168.1.2 a.200. At this point do not access control for each base station.

    Since you seem to need the step by step instructions or need help to understand the different terms networking, I highly recommend that you help you to become familiar with networking, specifically on Apple systems. I suggest you consider taking the e-Book to the next control: take control of your Wi - Fi Applehttps://www.takecontrolbooks.com/apple-wifi network

  • Helps the FS7610 PS Series SAN, 10Gb network design

    Hi, we have currently a square of infrastructure EqualLogic SAN and NAS (2 x PS6510E, FS7500), a stack of two PC8024F 10 GB switches, 2 envelopes chassis m1000e blade with the A1 being a set of switches 1 GB m6220 fabric (fabric A2 a battery of the same thing), the tissue being a pile of m8024k B1 10 GB passes, (fabric B2 a battery of the same thing) and a stack of PC6224 two 1 GB (top of the grid GigE) switches.

    We all have this connected to the 10 GB being its own private network 10.1.0.x SAN network and vlan, nice and isolated from all the rest.  The blades can access the iSCSI shares via their network cards of 10 GB which is all on this network 10.1.0.x.  The NIC 1 GB on the blades are on a public network, and the FS7500 of the customer ports are on this network too via the 6224, so NFS connections are established via the public network to 1 GB.

    We intend to invest in an additional PS Series array to the host to a backup site, for replication.  At the same time, we plan to buy a FS7610 to our main site to take advantage of our 10 GB infrastructure and move the FS7500 existing to our backup site, so we can replicate iSCSI and NAS container volumes.

    That's where we could use some help, because now many things have changed.  Now, the SAN must be on the public network for replication to succeed, AND to take advantage of the connectivity of 10 GB and sharing NFS mount of the FS7610 through 10 Gbit, we need to use network cards 10 Gbit and switches in the network of the client NAS, that are already used for iSCSI traffic (and will in the future be used for connections to SAN vmware hypervisor).  In the FS7610 install and set up the guide, it says

    • Use the switches for network client and for the internal network and the SAN.
    • Use separate subnets for network client and for the internal network and the SAN.

    We can move the SAN and it is a dedicated subnet network and VLAN that is on the public network without problem, but my main concern is to be able to satisfy the recommendations/network configurations required for the FS7610 and avoid the local SAN/NAS traffic through a router to ensure connections of 10 GB.  Advice or tips are appreciated!

    It is the same thing that you are dealing with Linux, but TCP/IP standard routing.   You cannot route private subnets directly on the internet.  We need to create a "Wan".   Do not directly routed on the internet.

    Your WAN will create a private network and a tunnel over the Internet.   OpenVPN is a possible solution.

    A very widespread scenario might be:

    Once you have put WAN in place, on the internet of these routers would be a true internet address (e.g., 62.x.x.x.x) so the two WAN devices can communicate with each other.   They create a VPN tunnel with a new subnet, say 10.3.0.x.

    The WAN router primary side would have a leg on the subnet 10.1.0.x, say with 10.1.0.10 IP address as your default route on the side of EQL SAN 10.1.0.10.

    On the side of the DR this router would have a leg on the 10.2.0.x subnet, say 10.2.0.10.  The default GW on the side DR would be 10.2.0.10.   The router knows how to move packets between networks using the standard range.

    Looks like all you're missing is the "WAN" VPN tunnel between sites.  You want something that will encrypt traffic between the sites anyway.

    Who help me?

  • Daisy chaining with other routers and the common IP range EA6500 V2

    I have a local network of...

    • a modem
    • a gateway connected to the modem computer/server
    • has a modem-router connected to the gateway/server via the port of the gateway/internet
      (gateway/a two server NETWORK interface card)
    • a and B modem router wireless connected to the router via the gateway/router internet port B
    • both A and B using the same set of IP addresses, 192.168.0.XXX

    Now I want to do the same thing with my Linksys EA6500 V2 I did with router B, I want to connect the Linksys router has via gateway/internet port on Linksys.  In addition, I want the Linksys router to use the DHCP server on the gateway server / as everyone is on the local network and, of course, I want to use the series of IP addresses, 192.168.0.XXX.

    What I tried to do is to disable DHCP on the Linksys service, but nothing seems to change once the changes are activated.  I look in the Local network settings and see all the old default 192.168.1.1 for the router address and so on.  I also tried to change the address of the router manually an address of 192.168.0.x and was immediately cut off this subnet.  I tried the renewal of my Windows client computer and couldn't do that either.  And as my client could not change its own address 192.168.1.X, I couldn't reach the router to the address that I gave him.

    How can I set up this router so that it uses the DHCP server on the gateway/server computer, including acquiring its own address in the same series.  Or at least set up so that it uses the same series of address than the rest of the LAN and no longer functions as a separate subnet?

    It seemed that all I had to do to set up router B to connect this way was to disable the DHCP server and everything fell into place, no problem.  Is this all I need to do here?  Am I supposed to restart or something?  I'm tired of guessing and trial and error.

    All tips or hints would be appreciated.

    You have to give the EA6500 a router static IP address in the same subnet as your network, but not in the DHCP range.

    Follow the instructions for 'LAN to LAN' Cascading in the link below:

    In waterfall or connect a Linksys router to another router

    Thing to keep in mind when cascading a router:

    1. Change the IP address of the secondary router to something like 192.168.1.254 so its on the same network, but is not in conflict with the main router
    2. Make sure that the DHCP service is disabled on the secondary router
    3. Make sure that nothing is ever connected to the internet port of the secondary router
    4. Differentiate the wireless SSID by location (Ex: downstairs) and the channel
  • Cisco ISR 4400 series SSLVPN Support

    Hello

    New series routers Cisco ISR 4400 support SSLVPN?

    According to the feature for this, but according to the document browser 4451-X Q & A is not.

    Does that mean I can or Canon use the AnyConnect client?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Armand

    According to documents that I looked, new SRI (4300 and 4400) 4000 series doesn't support SSL VPN at all:

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/routers/4000-series-integrated-services-routers-ISR/enterprise-routing-portfolio-poster.PDF

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/products/routers/4000-series-integrated-services-routers-ISR/series-comparison.html

    It is possible that the AnyConnect client may be still usable for IKEv2/IPSec VPN connectivity, but SSL seems to be off the table in these units.

    My guess would be that access the VPN feature is moved exclusively to the portfolio of the SAA, but which is slowed down just think.

  • Set up two separate networks with access to shared resources

    Hi all

    We have a two separate companies in the same building which will both need access to shared resources and the same internet connection. They must be on separate subnets cannot communicate directly with each other. The current switch is a Cisco ESW-520-48P and we are looking to buy an SG-300-20 p for the new entity moving in. Heres how we envisage the establishment:

    • ESW-520 will host network company A. workstations, servers, etc.
    • SG - 300 will be two VLANS. Vlan1 will host any business network (B) workstations, servers, etc. VLAN2 will host shared resources, such as printers.
    • The internet gateway is a system based on UNIX with 3 CARDS. 2 NETWORK cards is absorbed by ADSL connections, while the other card NETWORK LAN, linking to VLAN2 on the SG-300. We would like to define which connection ADSL to carry through according to what subnet traffic is originating.
    • The ESW-520 need access to shared resources and the internet gateway on VLAN2 on the SG-300.

    This will be possible with these two switches? It would be the best way to go about this?

    Appreciate any recommendations that you can provide.

    Thank you

    Tom

    Hi Tom, yes the ESW can be either an access port to the vlan 2, unidentified or you can configure the trunk for the host devices on two subnets on the ESW, your choice. When the SX300 is L3 it will load the intervlan routing when you assign IP addresses for the interfaces of VLAN locally.

    Default gateways will be the SX300 Lass (interface vlan).  There will always be a route established between subnets so assign each vlan an IP address.

    You'll see ARP of course through the subnets of course. Not sure the DHCP acknowledgement, etc..

  • Public VIP subnet, RAC

    Hello

    I have questions about the network configuration in Oracle RAC 11.2. According to the documentation http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e17264/preparing.htm#TDPRC135

    'The virtual IP address must be on the same subnet as your public IP address.',

    "IP addresses used for SCANNING addresses must be on the same subnet as VIP addresses."

    So in ideal configuration we should end up with something similar to the example configuration of table 2-1 http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e17264/preparing.htm#BCGJBBGE

    My question is. Is it possible that

    public ip address will be the separate subnet.

    VIP and scan will be on a different subnet,

    and private will be on a different subnet (dedicated to connect)

    and this configuration is supported.

    Concerning

    Jakub

    My question is. Is it possible that

    public ip address will be the separate subnet.

    VIP and scan will be on a different subnet,

    and private will be on a different subnet (dedicated to connect)

    and this configuration is supported is

    In short No.

    The SCAN and VIPs will be logical interfaces.

    Public, VIP and SCAN will be on the same subnet.  VIP and SCAN will actually be a logical interface on the public interface.

    Private sector will be in his private on a different subnet network.

    I don't think that you will still be able to configure the vip to be on a separate subnet from the public.  The installation will fail only.

  • several subnets by VLANS and ports link

    Hello

    I need some clarification.

    Our iSCSI SAN storage (Dell MD3660i0 requires a separate subnet by port.

    We require paths multiple access and balancing in VMware.

    To achieve this in ESXi 5.1 we need binding ports... BUT the binding of ports is supported only if the vmks are all in the SAME domain in accordance with these two KBs broadcasting

    VMware KB: Considerations for use binding software iSCSI ports in ESX/ESXi

    VMware KB: When the use of several VMkernel ports with port required to access the storage of two or more tables on different br...

    OK... probably so I simply put my all subnets in ISCSI storage in one VLAN and everything will be ok (one VLAN is after all a broadcast domain, both are stuff of L2)... This would respond to the requirements of KBs... If VMware means "area of distribution" in the true sense of the term.

    So my question is can you configure the port in this way binding? It is supported by VMware?

    VMware has come back to me (in fact the author of one of the kb/s I've referenced)

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2038869

    He confirmed that the terminology used in the KB is misleading and "broadcast domain", it actually means "subnet" so not layer 3 layer 2.

    This means that you can NOT have multiple subnets in a broadcast domain (VLAN) AND use the SW iSCSI port binding.

    BUT

    He told me (he is very familiar with the Dell MD3660i iSCSI kit), you don't have to have binding of ports to achieve several Multipathing and load balancing. If you have a requirement for several subnets of your iSCSI SAN provider then just create multiple vmks on different subnets, and DO NOT make the port binding. The fact that they are on different subnets will be enough to achieve the multiple paths

    It updates the KB to make this much clearer.

    I hope this helps someone

  • Questions about iSCSI and subnets

    IM planning on a deployment of 8 ESX servers connected to an array of iSCSI on double dedicated switches.

    1. 2 cards on each ESX host network is dedicated to iSCSI and VMware dependent ontraffic.
    2. SAN iSCSI target consists of two controllers with 2 uplinks of iscsi on each controller (4 total)
    3. The manufacturer of SAN is suggesting setting up of their SAN ports in separate subnets for higher throughput

    • For the sake of simplicity lets say assign 10.10.100.1 24 ports SAN 1 & 3 and 10.10.200.1 24-port SAN 2 & 4
    • On the side of ESX, a single iSCSI VMKernel address will be 10.10.100.2 and the other will be 10.10.200.2.

    My questions:

    1. do I have to enable trunking VLAN on the side of the switch so that the initiator 10.10.100.2 ESX failover to the port of SAN 10.10.200.1 and vice versa, because they are not in the same subnet and therefore not in the same VLAN?
    2. If this is the case, will trunking VLAN also solve the problem if we were to buy an identical iSCSI SAN on the road and 2 subnets more setup for controllers, but still only have two cards on the ESX Server.
    3. I would assign the 2nd ESX Server in this config with the same IP addresses as the first, or I re them with differnet IPs (but obviously still in the same subnet as the storage arrays), for example ESX 1 is 10.10.100.2 and ESX 2 would be 10.10.100.3

    Any other associated iSCSI I get with VMware, simply not able to think through this particular obsticle and I don't have the equipment to test it yet. Doesn't help that it's late in my part of the world and my brain power is depleting fast!

    Thank you!

    I mean really isolated network. No routing between them.

    Is the software of multiple paths that can pass a path to another, and if you need one network to another.

    Note that the PowerVault will have an interface of a mosquito net and to one another for each processor.

  • Two guests with a different subnet on the same bridge vmnet0

    Hi all, I have a server in a data center.  The data center has awarded me two different

    Beaches of IP addresses with two separate subnets.  The first beach with the subnet to 255.255.255.248

    compatible with my 3 people systems hosts that use bridged networking on vmnet0.

    4th OS uses 255.255.255.0 and bridge over vmnet0, however

    I can not get on the net, can't even ping the gateway.

    Then the bridge vmnet0 manage two different subnets?

    Thank you

    Yes, network bridge can have several subnets.  Bridged using, your virtual machine works like any other physical machine on the network.  So just as if two physical machines on the same physical LAN had different submet, they would not be able to communicate directly with each other, so also with your virtual machine having a different subnet.  With two subnets, you should probably two gateways.  If you cannot change the 4th VM subnet to match others, you would need a router between the two subnets.  (Again, same as if they were physical machines.)
