Application point of view: Describes the detailed steps of soft route configuration.

Vro configurations are more complex than other vro configurations. Here we will give a comprehensive explanation of vro configurations. In the LAN, to prevent private file transfers between departments, the IP addresses of different departments are generally set to different CIDR blocks. After this setting, because the assigned IP address is not in a CIDR Block and cannot access each other, data exchange is unlikely.

However, if the organization wants to send a notification online, different network segments will become a "stumbling block" to block delivery ". To achieve "mutual access" between different CIDR blocks, you must set a router between different CIDR blocks. If you spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a vro, it is a bit worthless. In fact, we can use the soft Routing Technology in Windows2000 to achieve mutual access between two different network segments.

I. Preparations for achieving "mutual access"

1. Install the Windows server operating system on a computer for subsequent soft routing configuration;

2. install two NICs on the computer;

3. install the TCP/IP protocol on the computer and configure IP addresses for the two NICs, for example, 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 and 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0 ), make the two NICs in two different IP network segments.

Ii. Install soft Routing

To enable Windows2000Server to have the soft routing function, we must configure the soft routing. We can install it through the following steps. First, log on to Windows2000Server as the domain user administrator. Then, click Start/Program/administrative tool/route and remote access to open the Routing and Remote Access window. Click the "operations" menu, select the "configure and enable Routing and Remote Access" command, and run the "route and Remote Access Server Installation Wizard ", click "Next", select the "network router" option, and then click "Next" 1 ).

Generally, only the TCP/IP protocol and NetBEUI protocol are installed in the LAN computer, and only the TCP/IP protocol has the routing function. The AppleTalk protocol is only used for communication between Apple computers. Because the TCP/IP protocol is displayed in the "protocol" list, select "yes, all available protocols are on the list" option and click "Next ". If you do not install the remote access service, you can select "no" in the subsequent window, click "Next", and then click "finish, you can complete the "route and Remote Access Server Installation Wizard ".

3. Soft route Configuration

The installed soft route hasn't been used yet. Next we need to configure the soft route. log on to the server as an administrator and click Start ", there is a "Computer Management" in the "program" group, click the "Management Tools" program group, and "Management Tools" contains a "Routing and Remote Access" item, then open the Routing and Remote Access window. Right-click the server name of the route to be enabled, and click "properties". On the "General" tab in the window that appears, select the "vro" check box and select "only for LAN) select the route option and click OK ". In the "Routing and Remote Access" window, open "IP Route Selection" in the left-side directory tree, right-click "General", and select "New Route Selection protocol" in the shortcut menu ", the "New Route entry protocol" dialog box is displayed. In the "route entry protocol" list, select "RIP version 2 for Internet Protocol", and click "OK, in small and medium networks, we recommend that you select the RIP Protocol and OSPF protocol in large networks ). Right-click "RIP" in the directory tree and select "New Interface" in the shortcut menu to display the "new interface for RIP version 2 of Internet protocol" dialog box. In the interface list box, select the first network interface, that is, "Local Connection", and click "OK" to display the "RIP properties" dialog box. In this case, you only need to take the RIP attribute to the default value of the system, click OK ". Add the second network interface for RIP in the same way, that is, "Local Connection 2" to complete route configuration 2 ).

Iv. Client Configuration

If you want to achieve mutual access between computers in the two IP address segments 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.2.0, after installing and setting the IP route, you must also set the corresponding settings for the client. The purpose is to set a computer in the 192.168.1.0 CIDR block to 192.168.1.1 and a computer in the 192.168.2.0 CIDR block to 192.168.2.1. Right-click "Network neighbors" on the desktop, and select the "properties" command to click to open the "network" dialog box. On the "configuration" tab, "The following network components have been installed", select the devices listed in "TCP/IP", and click "properties, the "TCP/IP properties" dialog box is displayed. Select the "Gateway" tab and type "192.168.1.1" in the "new Gateway" dialog box. If the IP address is at 192.168.1.0 ~ Between 192.168.1.255) or "192.168.2.1" if the IP address is located in 92.162.0 ~ 192.168.2.225), click "add" 3), install the gateway settings, click "OK", and restart.
