We're considering two NBN fibre connections to the Internet (NBN is a fibre connection for those of you not living in Australia), with each connection having it's own subnet.
The first connection's subnet is 192.168.0.0/24
and the second's is 10.0.0.0/16
. Half of the office will be on one the first subnet using one connection, and the other half will be on the second subnet using the other connection.
I want to ensure that the two subnets are able to talk to one another. For example, John
's computer is 192.168.0.1
and he needs to access resources on the server Altitude
on 10.0.1.1
, while Alan
's computer is 10.0.2.1
and he needs to access resources on the server Jelly
on 192.168.0.129
.
Can this be done by connecting the two separate routers together, or does there need to be a "bridging" router, with the LAN and WAN addresses having a 192.168.0.x
and 10.0.x.x
addresses and static routing rules configured?
