LAN1/LAN2 Routing 1

[PhoneGuyNJ]

Hi -
I have been at testing the Small Office Edition on my network for about 2 weeks now and still have some issues.

I believe I have my networking piece setup wrong or am missing something. VM Pro is working great, phones are working great... so here goes..

I have a router which is 192.168.1.1 in which the LAN2 (Wan) port is connected to. I have 192.168.1.20 statically assigned to the IP office.

LAN1 has chosen 192.168.42.1 as it's IP address

I setup 2 routes, one with 192.168.1.0 pointing to LAN1 and one with 192.168.42.0 pointing to LAN2

I have not selected any firewall, or any NAT, have no put a Primary Trans. address in anything or selected any RIP.

Should I have selected anything else?

I really dont want to use any routing function of the IP Office, with the exception of external IP phones with VPN remote on them at a later time, and SIP trunking.

I was told I can just use LAN1 and connected it right to my router.. and that way there is no routing needed?

Some help would be greatly appreciated..

I would just set up you IPO in the same range as your router then you dont need any of this. there is a way to route between them but i am unsure of exactly what you are trying to do here. I think you may be over-complicating this. either way when you want external IP phones they are comming in thru that router so it really does not matter if it is all on one LAN. when you run VPN phones the VPN terminates to the Router and the router just passes the VOIP traffic into the LAN. The IPO does not terminate the VPN's. As far as the IPO cares it is just VOIP traffic to an address.

Thats exactly what I would like to do, but does that mean I should statically assign both the LAN1 and LAN2 to the same subnet? That would be easy...

or do I just move the cable from the LAN2(WAN) port over to a LAN1 port and delete my LAN2 settings..

I guess that is where my question lies..

You will only want to use 1 interface. I always use LAN 1. i really only have had to use LAN2 in some certain cases. Like with SIP and dedicated connection. I would se the LAN1 settings and then add in an IP route for your default gateway..something like this


IP 0.0.0.0
Subnet 0.0.0.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1 Or your router address
LAN1

I plan to use SIP - so will that make a difference as you stated above?

That is my other issue I am working on - trying to get callcentric to work too..

It will really depend how you are getting to your SIP provider. In most cases you can use LAN1 for everything. If you only have 1 internet source then you can do it all from LAN1.

Perfect..

Update!
Got it all working as I wanted.. AND CallCentric SIP is working as well!

Thanks Kevin! I will post a more detailed post later on with my entire configuration so that anyone that is trying to do what I am doing will have the info!

The two routes you mentioned above are back to front (i.e 192.168.42.0 to LAN2 should be LAN1 and vice versa) as I told you in your "Quick start SOE" thread.

Everything seems to work fine now that I am just using LAN1 for everything and leaving the routing to my other router.

Except for INBOUND testing from Callcentric..
