Hello guys
My Motorola Surfboard gets me 2 IP's I'm trying to figure out a way to distribute these two IP's over two routers DLink DI604 lying around here Each of these routers has 1 WAN and 4 LAN ports I also have one spare 5-port switch Eminent EM1030 Moreover,
- I have the need for 12 LAN-ports in total
- I want 2 groups of PC's, each using one router as default gateway, to be able to control their WAN-acces "by router"
- I want to be able to configure the individual routers from any LAN-port (one DI604 gets IP 192.168.0.1 and the other 192.168.0.2)
- I want full LAN networking between connected pc's
I was thinking of the following setup, using one extra 8port switch DLink DES1008D :
- Connect the Motorola surfboard to the Eminent switch
- Connect WAN ports of both DI604 to the Eminent switch
- Of each DI604, connect one LAN port to the DES1008D switch This leaves me 3 free ports per DI604, and 6 free ports of de DES1008D
Or as shown by "image" ;-)
(copy and paste in notepad using fixed font)

Any other suggestions ?
