Draytek Vigor 2860 – Managing Multiple External IP Addresses

drayteknetworkingroutervlanwide-area-network

I've bought a DrayTek Vigor 2860 for my company network. And I'd like to use it for two VLANs with separated external IP's. I have 6 LAN ports on my DrayTek.

For example:
External IP-adres: 201.102.102.104
Internal VLAN: 192.168.1.100 – 192.168.1.200
LAN port 1

External IP-adres: 201.102.102.105
Internal VLAN: 192.168.2.100 – 192.168.2.200
LAN port 2

LAN port 1 and LAN port 2 will both be connected to network switches which, so multiple devices can be added.

I know how to setup VLANs, but I cannot find this feature in my router. Is this router capable of doing this? If yes, what should I do?

I know this is an old question, but it took me forever to figure out the best way to do this, so hopefully this answer will help someone. I have a Draytek 2926 but previously had the 2860 and it has the necessary features too. This answer presumes both your public IP addresses are from one WAN connection. What you need to do is:

  1. Under WAN > Internet Access > WAN1 (or whatever WAN you use), select "WAN IP Alias" and make sure you enter any public IP addresses you wish to use.
  2. Under LAN > General Setup > LAN 2, you need to select "Details Page" and configure a second LAN (your first LAN should already be set up). In my case, I used the IP address 192.168.2.1 and Start Address of 192.168.2.10.
  3. Under LAN > VLAN create two VLANS. Each one should contain whichever LAN ports you want each network to include, and you will also need to assign your wireless SSIDs. The Subnet for each one (LAN1/LAN2 etc) will be the ones you created in the previous step
  4. Under Objects Setting > IP Object create a new object. Use the Address Type "Range Address" and then use the start and end IPs for the range you assigned to your LAN2
  5. Under Routing > Load-Balancing/Route Policy, create and enable a new policy. In here, for the Source select "IP Object", and then choose the object you created in the previous step. In the Interface field, select the correct WAN, then from the dropdown box select the address/IP alias you want to use for this network.

This setup is working perfectly for us.
