How can I combine 2 LAN segments to work together?
Hi all,
I'm trying to install a voip system in our company. The telephones are using IP addresses and I was woundering if it is possible to use a diffrent lan segment but use both lans to work togheter?
Our lan is now at 192.168.20.X
Is it possible to have the telephone system use lan 192.168.50.x
This would devide the phone system from the LAN side.
But I need the 192.168.50.x network to be visible for the 192.168.20.x network.
Can I configure a phone thrue webbased gui on a 192.168.20.X pc making a connection to a phone 192.168.50.x
Do I need to add routes or configure something the 2 networks work together? Also the phones need internet as they are SIP phones and the router is at 192.168.20.254
PLease inform me on this matter

why are you doing it this way
to stop sip affecting your lan or security

No, I want to do this so it doesn't use all my IP addresses.
Every phone takes up 1 ip and the range Ip addresses are only 256 big.
I already have a lot of computers and printers using IP addresses. Now with the phones the range is almost full. So I want them on a sperate lan segment so the phones can use 256 other IP addresses.

Thanks the easiest way to to is indead setting the IPrange to /16 segment. Didn't know this was possible.
The give me more then enough I only need 300IP addresses.
I also think the soloution src1963 gave is correct. But since the last one is easier I'm going this way.
Thanks for the fast answers.
