Hi,
I want to set up a internetworking environment:

The Network Topology:

Internet ----R1 ---LAN1---R2----IPLC----R3----LAN2


1. 3 routers: R1, R2, R3
2. R1 = ADSL Router, the LAN IP = 202.27.9.16/28
IP = 202.27.9.16/28
Default = 202.27.9.17
DNS = 202.27.9.19
3. R2 = IPLC Router, LAN IP = 202.27.9.18; WAN IP = 192.168.1.253/24
4. R3 = IPLC Router, WAN IP = 192.168.1.254/24, LAN IP = ??

How can I configure the R2 & R3, so that I can use the LAN1 IP Address
from the LAN2 ?

Thank you so much

One way would be to subnet your address block. Use 202.27.9.16/29 on
LAN1, and 202.27.9.24/29 on LAN2. However, this would limit you to 4
client IPs on LAN1 and 5 client IPs on LAN2.

You could configure bridging over the IPLC, so that LAN1 and LAN2 would
be considered to be a single network.

You could use private IPs on LAN2 and configure NAT on R3 to translate
some LAN1 addresses to these IPs.

Hi, Barry,

Thank you for your help.

But since IP addresses are assigned by ISP, I do not want to lose any
one of them, how can I configure the R2 & R3 to be a bridge, so that I
can use the LAN1 IP addresses from LAN2 ?

Thank you
