Hi Newsgroup, hi mailing list, high Charles.
Would someone please help me with ideas to solve this basic ethernet
to ethernet routing problem with a floppy router such as LRP.
I have only 2 networks that I want to connect.
What makes things REALLY easy is that these small networks don't need
to be hidden or address-translated. They are both physically and IP
address-wise different networks with routable IP addresses in the
public internet IP range.
It's the simplest router scenario I can imagine.
Here is the map:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{ Network 0 }
{ a0.b0.c0.d/26 }
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
Ethernet
|
|
-----------------------
| eth0 |
| LRP ROUTER? |
| eth1 |
-----------------------
|
Ethernet
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
{ Network 1 }
{ a1.b1.c1.d1/29 }
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are multiple computers on each network. Computers on each
network use the interface of the router on their side as their
gateway.
No address translation is required, all addresses are real world IPs.
I have looked at a few Linux router distributions such as freesco and
LRP.
They seem to have additional services such as DNS, DHCP, firewalling,
address translation and can perform really complicated functions.
However, I could not find anywhere out-of-the-box support or
instructions on how to allow simple real world IP routing of more than
a single IP address.
The best I could find is the EigerStein version or the LRP router that
solves a special case that requires that both physical networks are
basically the same (proxy-arp DMZ).
Please someone help me, I must be missing something, close to
completely misunderstanding what the functions of a router are.
Any hints, references, anything is highly appreciated.
Many thanks!
Bernard
