Need help subnetting my network

Post by Theoutdoorsman »

I have a simple task that is absolutely driving me crazy. I am almost too embarassed to have to ask, but I need to subnet a network into three subnets. My AP is connected directly into my Untangle box, which is configured with a static ip address of 192.168.1.1 /27 (255.255.255.224)(DHCP is enabled). This subnet mask "should" allow me to configure up to 8 subnets. If a pc is connected to the LAN interface of the UT server, I have internet access. If, instead, I connect the LAN interface to a switch I "should" be able to connect a router to that switch and subnet this network. If someone could assist me with configuring just one of these routers, I would be most grateful. If I could simply get through the configuration of the first, I think I can take it from there. Many thanks, in advance, for any and all advice.

What has been done:



Asus RT-N16 (router being configured)
  1. Has been configured with a static IP address of 192.168.1.97 and subnet mask255.255.255.224
  2. Has been placed in "Router" mode. (This disables NAT to allow communication and sharing services among LAN and WAN clients.)
  3. Firewall has been disabled.
  4. A static LAN route has been assigned to 192.168.1.1 (UT servers IP) I am uncertain as to what figure should be placed in the "Metric" field, however.)



STILL NO INTERNET ACCESS ?!?!?!?

*** Can anyone at least confirm I am headed in the right direction with this? ***

I have reverted back to a /24 subnet mask for this project. Still no joy!?!?! If I connect a pc to the switch, I can connect to the LAN interface of the UT server. However, I can not connect to the internet via router. Here is a diagram of the network I am trying to configure. I am only concerned with the configuration of one of the routers. The other, I should be able to configure on my own. This should be a simple project, but I am loosing hair FAST! Someone PLEASE help me out with this!!!
