Server in the middle

Post by falmic » 2018/07/05 06:46:18

Hi,
I have little problem and il hope you guys can help me ;]

I have server on centos 7 with 2 lan cards, and i wanna put this machine between router and network switch as firewall.
i cannot manage our router, cuz it belongs to other company, and they not allow me to access.
how to setup network to make it work in that way?

[router]<---><eth0>[server]<eth1><--->[switch]<--->[users]

Didn't read it word by word but this tutorial should be fine: https://linuxtechlab.com/turning-centos ... ne-router/

In your case the mentioned "WAN IP address" is the NIC connected with your router. This means it must have an address within the subnet of your routers IP range. The "internal" subnet must differ. Depending on the setup and numbers of stations in your network you might want to setup DHCP server as well.
