Hello, I am sure this was addressed before, I tried to find relevant information but could not. I appreciate any assistance. Constraints * Two devices with the same IP, this cannot be changed. * Devices do not have a default router, they must communicate with applications on the same IP network. * Host applications should access the two devices using UDP and TCP based protocols. Network Solution * To avoid address conflict, each device resides on a different VLAN. APPLICATION --> Kernel --> * v10@eth0 - interface on VLAN=10 * v11@eth0 - interface on VLAN=11 Switch --> * Port1 VLAN=10 * DEVICE1 [10.0.0.10] * Port2 VLAN=11 * DEVICE2 [10.0.0.10] Diagram [In fixed width font]: --- ,-----------+--------. ,----------+-+--------. | |v10@eth0|.......| |1|VLAN=10 |---DEVICE1 [10.0.0.10] |APPLICATION| eth0|-------| Switch +-+--------+ | |v11@eth0|.......| |2|VLAN=11 |---DEVICE2 [10.0.0.10] `-----------+--------' `----------+-+--------' --- I would like to have a bidirectional static NAT so that per application point of view: * DEVICE1 will be 192.168.110.10 * DEVICE2 will be 192.168.111.10 And per device point of view: * APPLICATION will be 10.0.0.11 I thought of having v10@eth0 address 192.168.110.1 and v11@eth0 address 192.168.111.0, however, I am unsure how to set up the bidirectional translation to the device virtual address using SNAT without creating duplicate addresses. Any assistance will be appreciated. Regards, Alon Bar-Lev
