We are having an issue that I could use some help on.
We need to connect two networks together, we'll call them network 1
and network 2. I am an administrator on network 1 but not on network
2. We've been provided an IP address for network 2 and a port on
their main switch.
Our network (network 1) has a totally different set of network
address
(3 class C subnets) from network2. We'll say Network1's subnets are
192.168.64.X
192.168.65.X
192.168.66.X
and
Network2's subnet is
192.2.10.X
Network1 is configured in a star topoly with a mix of Cisco 6509
catalysts and Cisco 3550s. We have a central 6509 with a supervisor
module setup as a basic router. The router inerface has the VLANs
setup for each of our subnets.
Now here is the issue:
We need to connect Network1 to Network2 in order to get out to a
bunch
of Web Based tools, websites etc. These networks are isolated and do
not connect to the Internet in any way. Network2 is a network
hanging
off a larger logical network (not dissimliar to the Internet). This
greater logical network we'll call InfoWAN. The Network2 has an
establish pressence on the InfoWAN but Network1 does not. Our
specific issues are:
How do we route specific web traffic out Network 2 to get out to
InfoWAN?
How do we ensure that the web traffic knows how to return to a
specific machine on Network1?
We have a Foundry BigIron 8000 at our disposal that may be used to
connect the two networks.
If anyone has any help for us I would greatly appreciate it. By the
way, I'm a point-and-click administrator (Windows admin). They cut
our network engineer job a while so I'm pretty much up a creek.
Thanks,
Mat
