Create a Subnet For VM's?

[Carlosinfl]

I am using an Asus NT-R66U wireless router w/ the default Asus firmware loaded on it and have the following config:

WAN IP (ISP Dynamic) ---> Modem ---> R66U (192.168.1.1/24)

What I 'want' to do is the following:

Create a VM host (192.168.2.100/24) which routes to a 192.168.2.1 default gateway. Problem is my router / switch is configured for 192.168.1.x/24. Do I need to create a VLAN or something else? I want to segregate the networks based on utilization:

192.168.1.100-199 (physical LAN devices) ---> 192.168.1.1 gateway
192.168.2.100-199 (VMware LAN) ---> 192.168.2.1 gateway
192.168.3.100-199 (Wireless B/G/N) ---> 192.168.3.1 gateway

Can someone tell me if this is even possible on my home Asus RT-N66U? What exactly is it that I am wanting to do? Is VLAN the correct terminology? Sorry I'm not a network guy so pardon my ignorance.

You don't necessarily need VLAN's to accomplish this, but it does depend on what your firmware supports. If within the N66U it allows you to setup more than 1 (the default) DHCP Server (i.e. 192.168.1.0/24) then you just need to configure multiple DHCP Servers and that's that.

Honestly, you're probably going to need custom firmware like DD-WRT to accomplish this since I don't think the N66U does support this out of the box.

Thanks. I will look at which version of the several confusing ones my router can support for DD-WRT.
