Need a how to: RV180-K9-NA Routing and DHCP

kmholan01 · ‎10-12-2013

Here’s what I’m trying to do:

I have one VLAN on a HP 1810 24 port switch (latest firmware) that supports VLANs. On this VLAN I have 2 DHCP servers running on W2k12. This DHCP server has two scopes: 192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x. The default gateway to the internet is 192.168.1.1 and is a DLink router connected to the switch. All machines are currently on the 192.168.1.x VLAN.

I bought a Cisco RV180-K9-NA to handle the second VLAN (192.168.2.x). I would like to have the RV180 route all traffic to the switch for local traffic and internet traffic through the switch to the gateway 192.168.1.1. I would also like the RV180 to forward all DHCP requests to the two DHCP servers. I would like to do this by forwarding the broadcasts but if I have to provide just a single IP for the DHCP Relay I can live with that.

If possible I would like to use the RV180 WAN port to connect to the switch and the other 4 ports for machines. But if I have to use 1 of the 4 ports as the uplink to the switch I could live with that as well.

I spent a full day trying to get all this to work without success. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kevin, thank you for using our forum, my name is Luis I am part of the Small business Support community. I am not sure if I understand well, could you please share to us your topology? Also be more specific with the result that you want to reach…

Thank you for the information.

Greetings,

I included a visio of my topology. Do you need something further?

Is there enough information or is there something more I can provide? Is what I'm trying to do possbile with this device? I'm trying to decide whether to keep or return it.

Thank you for any input.
