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.
