It’s like having multiple LAN networks that actually use the same physical cables and ports. By
putting your LAN and Gateway
A
in different subnets, all returning network traffic must pass
through the AMG1302-T11C to your LAN. The following steps describe such a scenario.
1
A computer on the LAN initiates a connection by sending a SYN packet to a receiving server on the
WAN.
2
The AMG1302-T11C
reroutes the packet to Gateway A, which is in Subnet 2.
3
The reply from the WAN goes to the AMG1302-T11C.
4
The AMG1302-T11C then sends it to the computer on the LAN in Subnet 1.
