Good afternoon all,
I am looking for guidance to create a route for 4 different 172 subnets to point back to Meraki AV vlan 10 ip, which would be 172.16.10.254, and , may also need to create NAT rules to allow internet access from those four 172 subnets. Not sure if I need to do that or not.
Primary network, with DHCP on Domain Controller 192.168.1.1
AV Network with DHCP on Cisco Meraki managed switch 172.16.10.x, 172.16.20.X, 172.16.30.X, and 172.16.40.X
Any insight or guidance on how to implement on Balance router would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Your post is not exactly clear, what linknet (if any) exists between the Peplink and the Meraki?
You don’t supply any actual subnet information either that would help someone suggest the exact configuration, although looking at the address scheme I’d probably assume /24 subnets are used?
Maybe a simple diagram that shows how things are connected and what subnets (and interface address) reside where.
Static routing 4x /24s is not hard, you just need to configure a route that would be something like “172.16.10.0/24 reachable via a.b.c.d” where a.b.c.d is the IP on the Meraki side of the equation.
A common practice would be to configure a /30 or other small subnet as a point to point connection between the two devices.
As for internet access assuming you have a default route in place on the Meraki pointing to the Peplink and then suitable static routes in place on the Peplink for the return traffic things should “just work” as the Peplink will NAT traffic by default and send it out whatever WANs are available.
