Help Needed In Configuring Router

Recommended Posts

Hi friends...

I have 2 gateways in my network viz ADSL & VSAT. For adsl, i have wifi router.

Now, I want to use both the gateways simultaneously. For that, I have done below things.

My VSAT gateway ip is 177.177.3.209/255.255.255.248

Accordingly, i had changed my router's lan ip to 177.177.3.210/255.255.255.248

PCs are from 177.177.3.211 to 214 / 255.255.255.248 & default gateway is 177.177.3.210 (adsl)

Now, internet works flawlessly. Also, my applications that run on vsat access just 3-4 different ips. For that, i had made batch file in following format

route add 162.50.50.2 177.177.3.209 where 162.50.50.2 is ip to be accessed thru vsat

Till now, everything was working fine. I can use internet as well as my vsat based application both at the same time.

Coming to problem, I have now increased no. of PCs in my office to 10 & also some IP devices like wifi camera n etc. But, I am unable to assign them IP address since as far as i have read, subnet 255.255.255.248 allows only 6 series of ip address. Now, I cant change my subnet as it has been assigned by my vsat provider HCL comnet. So, what other options are available to me???

I have 2 ideas in my mind but not sure how to do it n if it is possible or not.

Idea 1.

Set my adsl router as 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0 n all PCs in range 192.168.1.2 n so on. Now, is there any setting in router which can route requests for 167.50.50.2 thru vsat as 2nd gateway??? I have read abt static route can do it but not sure how to do it...

Idea 2.

Set my adsl router as 192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0 n all PCs in range 192.168.1.2 n so on. Also, there are only 4 pcs which access thru VSAT. So put secondary IP in those pcs as 177.177.3.210 to 213 / 255.255.255.248. Even here, I am not sure how to proceed.

Hope i have been able to explain the problem correctly n awaiting foolproof solutions.

Thanks in advance..
