Extended network
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2018 4:33 am
Hi, I have a network with a RB2011 managing 2 internet links (WAN_Fiber20 and WAN_Fiber100) and 3 internal VLANs (VLAN-Area1, VLAN-Area2 and VLAN-Wifi). The routing completely blocks accesses between different VLANs, but allows access to Internet.
Now the general manager decided to connect a new building using a couple of antennas (1x Ubiquiti NanoBean 16g on each building). On the new building he bought another RB2011, and wants to have computers connected to the VLAN-Area1, and other computers connected to a new VLAN. The file server is only on the original building and must be accessed from VLAN-Area1.
What is the best approach to configure both routers?
I thought about creating a new IP range just to connect between the 2 routers. And on the new router create 2 brand new vlans with new IP ranges: VLAN-Area3 only with access to Internet, and VLAN-Area4 with full routing to VLAN-Area1.
What pitfalls must I avoid, and what should I be aware of?
Attached I am sending the configuration of the current router.
Thank you
