Hi, im trying to add a route between 2 subnets.

I have a router on 192.168.2.1 and another router on 192.168.0.1 andam trying to reach the 0.1 subnet from the 2.1

I have added a static route in RRAS

Destination: 192.168.0.0
MASK: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 0.0.0.0

I am still unable to reach 192.168.0.1

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks!

Im using a SMC 1016DT - layer 1 or 2 switch....
 
The route you have is useless. It means almost anything because in this way all connections to 192.168.0.0 are passed to nobody (0.0.0.0) or default.

you must specify the router in this way:
SOURCE (where the connections come from) - DESTINATION (WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO) - GATEWAY (Which router can accomplish this route).

Actually I can't remember how is on RRAS but I'm pretty sure it asks for source, mask, dest and gw.
 
Thanks, that clears that up.

So no i have

Destination: 192.168.0.0
MASK: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.1

I am still unable to reach this address 192.168.0.1

Do i need to update the routing tables on all clients on the network some how?

Thanks
 
But FROM (I think your router has a console or a ping utility) the console of your router (192.168.2.1) you can ping the 192.168.0.1, right? If yes you must tell your clients that they need to contact your 2.1 router and the router should be able to route.

Your server RRAS should do nothing. Use only your router.
 
Ok, the router is given out as the default gateway, so i should be able to reach it then,

So i just checked the router, has no ping fuction.

I check the routing table, it has not other routes then the 192.168.2.0 subnet.

Im trying to add 192.168.0.0/24 but it wont let me add it
 
Ok, im not sure what was wrong but i am able to reach it now.

What is RRAS routing used for then, is it if you use a server as a router?
 
I think the routing table wasn't updated :)

Yes, and if you install remote access this role is installed by default.
