I have a project:
LAN (IP x.x.x.aaa - Static)<<>>Cisco 3250<<>>RB750G<<>>LAN (IP x.x.x.bbb - DHCP)
This is what the boss wants. The “aaa” network needs to communicate with the “bbb” network and vice versa. But it must be done through the two devices.
On the RB750:
I have given the gateway port the static IP address assigned to me by the admin of the Cisco. IP>>Addresses
I have also inputted the DNS settings. IP>>DNS
I have created a DHCP server. DHCP>>DHCP Server
I have defined an address pool for the DHCP. IP>>Pool
Do I need to setup a bridge between the gateway (Cisco) and master ports (DHCP-LAN)?
Do I need to define my own static routes?
We need more info on your IP addressing scheme.
You have given the IP addresses x.x.x.aaa and x.x.x.bbb. If the x.x.x. is the same at both sides (ie same subnet) then you will need to use bridging. If on the other hand you’re just using the ‘x’ to represent any old number (that are DIFFERENT at both sides - ie different subnets), then you’ll need to do routing. If you’re doing routing then the default gateway you’ve set is fine, but be sure that routes exist on the Cisco and both endpoints .aaa and .bbb have a route (eg: default) pointing to their local gateways (ie: Cisco for .aaa and RB750 for .bbb).
Give more details and we can give a more clear answer.
- What are the actual IP addresses (if you want substitute some numbers for privacy, but be consistent)
- Is the Cisco setup as a bridge or router. If a router, what are it’s interface IP’s and what routes does it have?

Thank you for your reply. I did discover what I did wrong. I placed a bridge and routes. As the two networks are on different subnets, I didn’t need the bridge. Once I got rid of it and made a slight correction to the gateway (fat fingered a digit), everything started to work.
I came here to indicate that I had found the answer to my issue when I saw your response.
Thanks again!
