Untagged subinterface NAT

L2 Linker

Hello all,

 

I've been reading on untagged subinterfaces and I'm not sure this scenario would even work for what I want to do. Basically I want to segment different two zones coming over the same interface. I usually accomplish this by creating a virtual-router on the core and running cables to different ports. License and hardware limitations prevent it in this scenario.

 

The basic setup:

 

ethernet1/1: 1.2.3.4 (WAN IP)

ethernet1/2.10: 10.10.10.1/24 (LAN Zone)

ethernet1/2.99: 10.10.99.1/24 (Guest Zone)

 

LAN and Guest would not be able to talk. Both zones would NAT to the internet over the same WAN IP.

 

I know you have to do source NAT with subinterfaces, but will this scenario even work for untagged? Would I need to add an IP address to the base ethernet1/2 and NAT to that? I've tried several different NAT configurations with no success.

 @ClintL, is your switch trunking to eth1/1?  If so, its egress port or interface is sending traffic with vlan tags and you would need to receive/send that tagged traffic on tagged sub-interfaces.  usually, the only interface untagged is the non-sub-interface in your case eth 1/1 where all sub-interfaces carry tagged traffic.  If it is not trunking, there would be no way to diff the traffic across the link.  the same would go with vWires.

No trunking. It's a very simple network at a remote site. That's what I figured, but I was still racking my brain for a solution. I appreciate the response and thank you!

I think your other option is to add another physical interface (if avail) for Guest with separate IP for gateway.  Could add to a new virtual-router and add a default-route to next-vr.
