Can the eWon cozy work if plcs that are connected to it are on different subnets? For example plc 1 has an IP of 192.168.200.1 and plc 2 has IP of 192.168.100.1?
Can I plug machines with different IP schemes to 1 eWON device. For example machine 1 has ip of 192.168.116.10 and machine 2 has ip of 192.168.118.10? Thoughts?
Hello,
The Ewon and VPN used are not designed to route to multiple networks but with this particular case you could change the mask on the eWon from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 . This will set a route over the VPN to all addresses is the 192.168.X.X range. Keep in mind this will now route the traffic through another gateway once on the LAN side of the ewon and the device will still need to be connected to the same LAN.
Thank you for the info!
While the information that @deryck_hms is accurate I would actually propose restricting the network a bit more. Using a /16 network would actually include around 65,000 addresses which could pose a risk for a conflict.
I would recommend using a /22 network which would restrict traffic quite a bit more. If you use a /16 network you would have access to:
IP Range: 192.168.116.1 --> 192.168.119.254
Mask: 255.255.252.0
This would reduce the possiblity of conflicts when connecting remotely.
