| 21:19.14 | ibot | onjoin for bonez46 set by maquis on Mon May 18 15:10:43 2009: i'm doing okay... not on here much, though... :P |
| 21:19.31 | bonez46 | thanks 88 |
| 21:19.43 | eightyeight | don't like it? |
| 21:20.06 | bonez46 | oh, just was curious and now I know.. |
| 21:20.11 | eightyeight | cool |
| 21:20.23 | bonez46 | what is your work eightyeight? |
| 21:20.40 | bonez46 | are you a sysadmin / netadmin / somesortofadmin? |
| 21:20.44 | eightyeight | i'm a sysadmin for the dept of veterans affairs |
| 21:21.00 | bonez46 | I ask.. as I want some input on a move . a change I want to make today with my network.. |
| 21:21.08 | bonez46 | ah.. I'll ask then |
| 21:21.34 | bonez46 | I posted something about "two routers" last week.. this is a follow up. a last minute review before I juggle everything. ok? |
| 21:22.34 | eightyeight | i read the two-routers thread on the mailing list. i probably won't have any advice for you, but ask away |
| 21:22.53 | bonez46 | ok.. this will help me just to get it clear in my own skull |
| 21:24.49 | bonez46 | I have comcast.. and they provide an SMC gateway/router device.. into which two routers are plugged. I'd like all devices plugged into both routers, or even into an available port on the SMC router. to all see each other, to share resources.. I have been told if I just assure that the SMC is functioning as a router and nating and all, that I can set one router, to be my wireless AP.. does it sound like I am on the right track so fa |
| 21:25.49 | eightyeight | so, you have the comcast modem. a line is going from there to one router, and then another line from the first router to a second? |
| 21:25.53 | bonez46 | I guess what I need to do is just set the AP router.. plugged into the SMC. . as a wireless AP only.. and set the other router as a switch by running the patch from the SMC into one of its 4 lan ports.. |
| 21:26.19 | bonez46 | no, each secondary router plugs into one port on the SMC comcast cable modem |
| 21:26.35 | eightyeight | oh, i see. which routers are they? |
| 21:26.40 | bonez46 | one of those routers is on my office and another sits right beside the SMC. |
| 21:27.08 | bonez46 | the two routers are WRT54G and WRTP54G (2 phone port VOIP) |
| 21:27.42 | eightyeight | ok. running the default firmware i take it? |
| 21:28.04 | bonez46 | I have to have wireless from one of them but would gladly use wireless on both.. but I wont' want either of them routing, right? since i want the SMC to do all the routing instead? |
| 21:28.04 | bonez46 | yeah, default firmware. |
| 21:28.05 | bonez46 | no hacking to them yet |
| 21:28.19 | eightyeight | right. one should be the router, and the other should act as a switch |
| 21:28.53 | eightyeight | so, you'll need to get in the firmware of one, and change that behavior |
| 21:28.58 | bonez46 | or in this case.. one, the SMC should act as the router, and the other two WRT's will act as switches? |
| 21:29.09 | eightyeight | that works as well |
| 21:29.17 | bonez46 | I'd just go to the webadmin page for each one, right? |
| 21:29.22 | eightyeight | yeah |
| 21:30.09 | bonez46 | so I should reconfigure each first and then power down and up again? and see if that works? |
| 21:30.27 | eightyeight | no need to cycle the power. the change should be immediate |
| 21:31.14 | bonez46 | but I'll need to change where each device is plugged in.. at the SMC. I'lll need to plug into one of the 4 ports on each, right, instead of on the WAN port? |
| 21:32.23 | eightyeight | the wan on the back of the smc can must go into one. the other into any port |
| 21:32.50 | bonez46 | not sure what you mean by that.. |
| 21:33.02 | eightyeight | the smc has 4 ports, and a wan port, right? |
| 21:33.04 | bonez46 | the cable plugs into the SMC device. then it has 4 'LAN' ports.. |
| 21:33.19 | bonez46 | i THINK Just the 4 lan ports.. let me check |
| 21:34.04 | bonez46 | yeah, just 4 lan ports on SMC |
| 21:34.24 | eightyeight | so, its the links routers that have the wan port? |
| 21:34.49 | bonez46 | 3 are currently occupied. one goes straight my other home line VOIP device from motorola.. for home service and then distributes out throughout our home.. the other two.. fee the two routers |
| 21:35.08 | bonez46 | yeah, the two WRT's each have 1 WAN and 4 LAN ports |
| 21:35.39 | eightyeight | ok. leave the wan ports empty then. you won't be using them |
| 21:36.06 | bonez46 | so the feed from the SMC to each WRT, just goes to one of the 4 LAN ports on each router, right? |
| 21:36.13 | eightyeight | correct |
| 21:36.31 | eightyeight | because they're acting as switches, it doesn't matter what port, as long as it's not the wan port |
| 21:37.37 | bonez46 | ok.. and once I plug that line with the IP signal from smc in, the router is then just acting as a switch.. |
| 21:37.40 | bonez46 | right? |
| 21:37.55 | eightyeight | yeah |
| 21:38.53 | bonez46 | ok.. and I want DHCP to be working on the SMC too, right? |
| 21:39.02 | eightyeight | the whole point of routers is to route packets from one network to another network. because you're only using one network, you just need switch behavior |
| 21:39.19 | eightyeight | yeah. that works. or you can have one on the network |
| 21:39.20 | bonez46 | otherwise, any devices plugged in won't get an IP.. I'll have to manually statically assign them all? |
| 21:39.22 | eightyeight | some with dns |
| 21:39.30 | eightyeight | yup |
| 21:40.48 | bonez46 | ok. I have a static IP from comcast.. and it's already assigned to the SMC.. that's all there, so I'll just let it do the heavy lifting. is uses the internal 10.1.10.x naming. behind the SMC. so does that mean I can just assign for my various devices.. IPs within the range provided by the SMC? |
| 21:41.20 | eightyeight | yeah |
| 21:41.27 | bonez46 | this is very helpful.. I am sure it's terribly simple for you all but helpful for me |
| 21:41.29 | eightyeight | or let the smc do the dhcp, if it has that functionality |
| 21:41.41 | eightyeight | no worries |
| 21:41.58 | bonez46 | yeah, it has that.. |
| 21:42.32 | bonez46 | ok.. so you say all I need to do it change the ports.. physically plug the various cables in to the LAN ports and that should update immediately and change things? |
| 21:46.29 | eightyeight | that is, if you have gone into the web interface, and changed the router to behave as a switch |
