Routing example: IPv4
For creating a basic network configuration in IPv4 like it shows in the picture.
In this example, we will use 3 routers and 2 client PCs.
Router R1
# /etc/config/network config interface 'lan' option device 'eth1' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '172.16.1.1' option netmask '255.255.255.0' config interface 'wan' option device 'eth0' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '10.1.1.1' option netmask '255.255.255.252' option gateway '10.1.1.2'
Router R2
# /etc/config/network config interface 'lan' option device 'eth0' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '172.16.2.1' option netmask '255.255.255.0' config interface 'wan' option device 'eth1' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '10.2.2.1' option netmask '255.255.255.252' option gateway '10.2.2.2'
Router WAN
# /etc/config/network config interface 'lan1' option device 'eth0' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '10.1.1.2' option netmask '255.255.255.252' config interface 'lan2' option device 'eth1' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '10.2.2.2' option netmask '255.255.255.252' config route 'net1' option interface 'lan1' option target '172.16.1.0' option netmask '255.255.255.0' option gateway '10.1.1.1' config route 'net2' option interface 'lan2' option target '172.16.2.0' option netmask '255.255.255.0' option gateway '10.2.2.1'
Client PCs
For the PCs configuration, we just set up the IP addresses in each station.
# PC1 address 172.16.1.3/24 gateway 172.16.1.1 # PC2 address 172.16.2.3/24 gateway 172.16.2.1
