Here at $WORK I was approached with a problem. Our systems are on a private network 172.xx.xx.xx) and then we have other networks nat'd ay various points. I handle one portion of the entire Network. Each of our sites are on their own set of subnets. The team I am on wants to use a specific set of IPS for the Lights out port on a series of servers that will be on 17 different subnets.
Not sure if I am explaining this properly. Example: Site 1 has its own subnet 172.10.10.xx Netmask 255.255.254.0 and its router is 172.10.10.1 which talks via VPN to our central site. For clarity we will say the central site is at 172.10.5.xx with a netmask of 255.255.248.0 The central site is the place where admins login remotely. They want the Lights Out port to have an IP of 172.10.5.xx but the physical router at that site is 172.10.10.1. If the Lightsout port is given the 172.10.5.30 IP with a netmask of 255.255.248.0 and a route to 172.10.10.1 would that allow someone coming in from the central site to see it? We are experimenting with this and can talk off line if need be. Also any pointers to a good explanation of setting up routes across multiple subnets would be appreciated. -- John J. Boris, Sr.
