good afternoon,

We have a draytek vigor 2850 and I have just connected a static IP address on the WAN2 interface. The IP in question for the purpose of this is 192.168.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and its default gateway is 192.168.0.254. On the outside the WAN2 interface gets connected to a cisco switch in our WAN VLAN. I have another host on the WAN VLAN on 192.168.0.20 but when I try and ping this device from a pc on the LAN side of the vigor the vigor recieves this and send the ICMP request to the default gateway of 192.168.0.254.

Any ideas why its doing this?

Thanks

i am not network expert but have you tried the other way around the ip 192.168.0.254 & gateway 192.169.0.1 and see if still issue?

Hi Babis3g,

Im unable to change the gateway as the actual IP address range is a public IP address space and the default gateway is our ISP on site router

How have you got your lan settings setup on the router?
