NetGear FVS318: How to configure Routers for a lab test?

glopez · May 1, 2003

Hi,

I'm trying to test the VPN functionality of the NetGear Routers FVS318 without connecting them to the Internet. I'm using a crossover cable between the two Routers as follow:

|------ LAN A ----------| |------- LAN B ------ |

[PC] --> [FVS318] ---crossover cable--- [FVS318] <--- [PC]

I'm successful to ping each external Router IP from any of the PC's but I'm not able to ping any other PC. I did create a Static Route table entry on both router but without any success.

The configurations is:

LAN A:
NetGear FVS318:
Basic Setings:
IP: 10.0.0.1
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.0.1
LAN Setting:
IP: 192.168.1.1
Mask: 255.255.255.0
RIP Direction: Both
RIP Version: RIP-1

PC:
IP: 192.168.1.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

LAN B:
NetGear FVS318:
Basic Setings:
IP: 10.0.0.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.0.2
LAN Setting:
IP: 192.168.2.1
Mask: 255.255.255.0
RIP Direction: Both
RIP Version: RIP-1

PC:
IP: 192.168.2.2
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1

I wonder if the Gateway IP for the Basic Settings has something to do.

I'll appreciate any help. Thank you

George

I'm answering my own question to help others that may have the same issue.

The problems happened to be that after playing with many parameters something wasn't changing. I have to clear all configurations by using the reset button from the back of the routers. Then, I entered the following parameters and everything worked fine.

|------ LAN A ----------| |------- LAN B ------ |

[PC3] --> [FVS318] ---crossover cable--- [FVS318] <--- [PC3]
