I have to integrate a B580 in an existing cisco routers MPLS network with more than 10 remotes sites. The problem is that statics routes are used to announce each remotes LAN network on each cisco routers.
For exemple, we have LAN 192.168.20.0/24 on site A (where the B580 will be), LAN 192.168.30.0/24 on site B and LAN 192.168.40.0/24 on site C, the MPLS network address is 172.16.0.1/24 for site A, 172.16.0.2/24 for site B, 172.16.0.3/24 for site C. How can i set statics route on B580 to each remotes sites B & C LAN ?
Hi, If I understand your issue correctly (bit hard without a diagram) you just need static routes for each subnet to be pointed at the ip of the Cisco on the 192.158.20.0 subnet. That way the Balance 580 will then be able to route to the remote sites via the MPLS network.
My Balance have a WAN interface on 172.16.0.0/24 network plus the LAN 192.168.10.0/24.
NETWORK → LAN → NETWORK SETTINGS
Is not working, i have error
Gateway 172.16.0.2 is not within the local network
I think Network → LAN → Network Settings → Static Route Settings is for route to LAN device/network like we have a Firewall between the LAN and the Balance
OK there is your problem. in Peplink speak, WAN interfaces are for internet connections (usually) What you want to do is create your 172.16.0.1 as another LAN even though its your MPLS WAN. Then you can setup static routes.
Just to confirm, dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, RIPv2) available in Balance 580 can be used to solved this problem without using LAN port on peplink ?
