[MLB-WIRELESS] Dlink 713's as routers, not NAT devices...

[Jason Brice]

How's your routing look?
 
the 713's should each have a route for the remote 10.1.x.x subnet
pointing at the other 713.
 
If you connect a router to the internet, your ISP will usually provide a
next hop route transparently. In your case you will want to install that
next hop route manually in each 713 (i dont know how to do this on a
D-link 713, ive never used them)
 
eg->
 
713 #1
ip route 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 via 192.168.0.2
 
713 #2
ip route 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 via 192.168.0.1
 
 
of course youll also want to disable NAT etc...
 
ps. You could also use a default route in each of the 713's and point
them to the WAN interface of the other 713 in a similar fashion as above
 
Cheers,

	ok, a quick rundown on what I'm trying to get working.... The
wifi link consists of 2 x Dlink 900AP+'s in bridge mode, each house has
a Dlink 713 for print server, DHCP, and local wifi access...
	 
	The idea is to go LAN -> 713 -> 900AP+ bridge -> 713 -> LAN....
	 
	now hopefully, I can use the WAN port on the dlink 713's, and
have a subnet of 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.252 between them... I'm
assuming that the 900AP+'s in bridge mode, will just pass over whatever
comes into the ethernet port to the other end....
	 
	So on an IP level, we have:
	 
	LAN 10.1.1.x ->
	713 WAN port (192.168.0.1/255.255.255.252) ->
	900AP+ bridge ->
	713 WAN port (192.168.0.2/255.255.255.252) ->
	LAN 10.1.2.x
	
	 
	now my question is this.... can I use the WAN port on the 713 to
be used as a router, and not enable NAT over that port???
	 
	From tests, we're not able to go 713 -> 713 - and I'm trying to
figure out why....
