Can you connect two gateways?
In the Windows world, you can have multiple gateways defined, albeit with a warning from Windows itself. The problem with multiple gateways in Windows is that you aren’t really able to utilize these as you would think. Windows assigns metrics to both gateways and the lower metric is always used.
Can you have more than one gateway on a network?
No, it can’t have more than one active default gateway. Any operating system can have multiple default gateways configured (technically a route to the unspecified address, i.e. 0.0.
Which is the default gateway for two subnets?
Thank you for your help so far! The default gateway must be on the same network as the devices that use it. The router you setup to route between the subnets should be setup as the default gateway, then you will route all traffic not going to 172.25 or 172.26 to the Internet gateway.
Can you have two different gateways on the same router?
Ok so, why not configuring 2 different gateways on two different interfaces. Well you can’t, not on a Cisco router. You cannot have two overlapping networks on two different layer 3 interfaces. Otherwise the router could not decide on which interface it must send a packet for this network. This is why your dual gateway cannot work.
Can a dual WAN be used for more than one IP address?
This isn’t quite how dual WAN is supposed to be used. If you have multiple WAN IPs in the same subnet as given to you by your ISP then you should one one WAN port and add the additional IP addresses as secondary IP addresses on that wan1 interface.
What should the gateway address be for VLAN 1?
VLAN 1 192.168.0.0/24, NAT configured. Gateway is 192.168.0.1. Connected to interface FastEthernet0. Currently not configured. ISP gives one dynamic IP so “ip address dhcp” should be in place. NAT must be configured. What would you do to configure ISP 2 gateway to be 192.168.0.2?
