Configuring RRAS as a Router

[John]

I have the following configuration:

ServerA
NIC
200.5.7.83


ServerB
NIC 200.5.7.80
NIC 172.30.5.1

How do I configured RRAS in ServerB so that ServerA can
access computers in segment 172.30.5.x

Please le me know what to do and how to do it.

Thanks

On the server you just need to enable IP routing. The easiest way is to
enable RRAS as a LAN router.

However routing will only work if the clients are correctly configured.
What is the default gateway of the 172.30 subnet? If it is not 172.30.5.1
you will need extra routing to get the traffic for 200.5 to the router. Same
thing applies if 200.5.7.80 is not the default gateway of the 200.5
subnet. If you can't sort it out, repost with more details. A simple diagram
always helps.

Configure RRAS as a LAN router. ServerA will then need a route to the 172.30.x.x network going through 200.5.7.80 to get there.
On the client side, they also will need a route. If the clients are currently pointing to ServerB as their default gateway, then no
additonal routers are needed. If NAT is being used on ServerB, this will not work.
