Connecting two routers, two ISPs, two subnets

I have two gateway routers with DHCP and their own ISP, and a GS724Tv4 smart switch. How would I set the network up so that the subnets 192.168.1.xx can communicate with 192.168.2.xx and vice versa? ...

    Physical connections:

    • Router A is connected to port 1 on subnet 192.168.1.xx (devices are wirelessly connected, like PC 1)
    • Router B is connected to port 2 on subnet 192.168.2.xx (devices are wirelessly connected, like PC 2)
    • An additional workstation (not shown in the diagram) is connected to port 3 (call it PC 3)

    VLan config:

    • Ports 1 and 2 are members of VLan 10 (untagged)
    • Ports 1 and 3 are members of VLan 20 (untagged)

    PVID config:

    1. Port 1 is set to PVID 10
    2. Port 2 is set to PVID 10

    Forget that assymetric VLAN stuff - do _not_ overload ports with untagged VLANs.

     

    Configure two dedicated VLANs,

    • ports which have to be used with [U]ntagged VLAN 10 put to PVID 10,
    • ports to be used with [U]ntaggded VLAN 20 put to PVID20,
    • ports which re inteded for VLAN trunking, e.g. for a VLAN aware wireless access point, a trunk t another vlan capable switch run all* ports as [T]agged. * one VLAN can be set untagged as shown above

    If this does work accordingly, head to the fine user manual, p.152 ff. Configure VLAN Routing
