LAN Traffic Splitting Using Advanced Static Routing Rules

Introduction

This article provides a guide on how to separate mobile data traffic within a LAN by using advanced static routing rules. These configurations are specifically made for RUTX12.

First you want to make sure that you have ADVANCED mode enabled. This will allow you to choose from a larger variety of settings.

Prerequisites

For this particular configuration you will need:

A Router with 2xLTE modules (RUTX12 is being used in the example)
2 SIM cards
2 PCs in the same LAN network

Preparation

Prepare RUTX12, power up the device, insert two sim cards, check that both are active and working. SIM1, SIM2, PWR and signal strength indicators should light up.
Access the router through WEBUI, go to Network -> Interfaces, make sure that both MOB1S1A1 and MOB2S1A1 interfaces are running (Status = Running). You should also be able to see their Ip addresses.
Make sure that you have ADVANCED mode enabled. This will allow you to choose from a larger variety of settings.

Network -> Interfaces should look similar to this:

Configuration

1. Go to Network –> Interface -> edit MOB2S1A1 -> Advanced settings -> Set IP4table to 10. Click save and apply.

2. Go to Network -> Routing -> Advanced Static Routes -> Add new instance of Routing table. Table ID can be chosen freely, however, it later on must match in the routing rules configuration. E.G TableID = 10 and set the Name of the Table, E.G Name of Table = Example.

3. Click the edit button on next to the created routing table:

4. Configure the Static route in the following manner and click save and apply:

interface: LAN
Name: Example
Target: 192.168.1.0
IPV4-Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Leave everything other blank
Add the route.
