Introduction[edit | edit source]

Nowadays IP networks are become popular in industrial environments. To limit infrastructure costs, these networks are often built ased on-trivial routing configurations are needed

This article shows how to configure SBC Lynx to implement a router that manages data packet forwarding between two different LANs.

Network topology[edit | edit source]

The following image shows a simplified block diagram of the network topology that has been used for testing this configuration.

There are two LANs:

  • main LAN (192.168.0.0/24)
  • secondary LAN (192.168.11.0/24).

The following devices are connected to these LANs:

  • a PC connected to the main LAN (IP address = 192.168.0.28)

2) main LAN switch 3) SBC Lynx equipped with two Ethernet interfaces a) primary interface (eth0) connected to main LAN (IP address = 192.168.0.209) b) secondary interface (eth1) connected to secondary LAN (IP address = 192.168.11.209) [1] 4) secondary LAN managed switch (IP address = 192.168.11.239) 5) WiFi access point connected to secondary LAN (IP address = 192.168.11.241)

Secondary LAN managed switch and access point integrate a web server, accessible at port 80. Two IP forwarding rules have been be set up in order to make web servers accessible at 192.168.0.209:80 and 192.168.0.209:8080:

  • 192.168.0.209:80 <-> 192.168.11.241:80
  • 192.168.0.209:8080 <-> 192.168.11.239:80

[1] For simplicity, secondary interface has been implemented with an USB/Ethernet adapter (TBD) connected to USB port. For a real-world production environment, it is recommended the use of both iMX6UL Ethernet MAC controllers. To do that, a plugin board connected to the one piece connector (J45/J52) can be used.
