Configuring 2 LAN into same subnet over WAN?

[wenqi]

Hi all,

Any help is much appreciated. Currently I have 2 networks connected through leased line. The two networks are in different location but having the same local subnet. Can I route them both together in the same VLAN to communicate between each other? Main purpose is so that both the networks are linked together.

Network 1:

Router 1: LAN IP: 10.0.0.1/24 WAN IP: 172.24.252.1

PC: 10.0.0.10/24

Device: 10.0.0.11/24

Network 2:

Router 2: LAN IP: 10.0.0.2/24 WAN IP: 172.24.252.2

PC: 10.0.0.51/24

Device: 10.0.0.61/24

Can I route everything from R1 to R2 and R2 to R1 to let PC and devices from Network 1 communicate with Network 2? Or how should I configure the routers to let Network 1 communicate with Network 2?

Thanks in advance!

You would need a L2 tunnel or you might NAT.

Hi Joseph,

Thank you for the reply. Would normal VLAN work? Configuring both into same VLAN.

I.E from Router 1, can I configure ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.2 

Router 2: ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

Would this enable communication between these two networks? Or would there be complications?
