Greetings, I have a customer that is re-designing their network and they want to use the VLAN capabilities of their Cisco equipment to divide out customer networks (multi-floor building) from their own, which is a brilliant idea I think, but they asked me to find answers to, and make solutions for Internet routing. So here are my questions. (I have never dealt with vlans and non-Cisco routers before) Basically since I know m0n0 can handle 802.1 vlans, can I make a m0n0 box be the router for the vlans? Normally I would handle this with Cisco routers but unfortunately money and time is a big issue here, and since their Catalyst switches do not have the router cards, I need a separate router. They will start out with 5 vlans, each with a different subnet under 192.168.0.0, I need to have 1 m0n0 box see and route/NAT traffic for each of those subnets. Here is a URL with a preliminary network layout to give a better picture. http://www.tawifi.com/sample-vlan.jpg Since I have no experience with m0n0/FreeBSD with VLANs I need some advice on whether I am barking up the wrong tree, or if I have taken the right path. I hope I am on the right track because using m0n0wall with this client will be perfect for me, since most of my other networks all run m0n0 and administering it will be a breeze!!! Thanks in advance for any help offered. -- Eric Collins Sr Network Administrator Tawifi.com Downtown Tucson WiFi Network http://www.tawifi.com |
