Unable to Route from REDtoGreen Network with singlerouter solution for 2-subnets

Hi,

I have recently installed Endian 2.5.2 on VMWAre set-up with 2 networks and both networks are within vmware. My setup is as below:

1. Green Network has 172.10.10.x Network with Gateway as 172.10.10.1 (This IP belongs to Endian firewall Green interface). So i am using Endian firewall as a router.

2. I have another network which uses 198.10.10.x range. I have installed one more endian router and assigned it 198.10.10.1 IP

3. To make both networks reachable to each other I had to install 2 routers i.e. 172.10.10.1 and 198.10.10.1

My question is : Can i use single Endian router and make both networks reachable ? If i put 172.10.10.1 on green then it behaves as a gateway for all 172.10.10.x machines. However for 198.10.10.x machines, i need one more router...


How can i achieve above using single Endian Router Machine for both networks ?

Thanks in advance for the help.. I am new to Endian..

Sounds like you should only need to create a routing table on the Endian.  I am a bit new myself but that's what I would try.  Think it through before just throwing routes on it.  I put a route of last resort on mine and locked myself out of the green network because I applied it too soon.  Here's what I would try but keep in mind that I'm new here as well.

Source                                     Destination                                       Gateway  (I think this is how Endian translates "next hop")

0.0.0.0                                   198.10.10.0 /24                                     172.10.10.2
0.0.0.0                                   172.10.10.0 /24                                     172.10.10.2
198.10.10.0 /24                           0.0.0.0                                          default gateway of ISP
172.10.10.0  /24                          0.0.0.0                                          default gateway of ISP

I know the routes seem weird, but I'm not sure the Endian picks up directly connected routes the same way a router would so better to be safe than sorry.  I thought there was somewhere in the GUI where you could view the routing table but I cannot find it.  Good luck.
