For anyone to answer that clearly, we'd need a bit more information. Firstly, what is connected to router1 and router2? In other words, does the router box you want to use have enough ports (and of the right type) to actually handle all of the connections? Secondly, can we assume that you have enough access to the box you want to use to be able to install the software and configure it? (This may sound an obvious question, but you'd be amazed how many people don't think of things like that.) Thirdly, are there any performance constraints? In other words, moving networks from router2 to router1 may impact router1's performance, as it now has to directly process any routing protocols from all subnets router2 listened to, and search a potentially longer and more complex routing table. Now, if it's a "trivial" network - router1 only connects to two other devices - the outside network and router2, and router2 likewise connects only to two devices - router1 and the inside network, then you can certainly drop one of the two routers. (In fact, in such a simple network, you could probably have a trivial computational device with a static routing table. Dynamic routing isn't needed, if nothing changes. Some switches support basic routing, and a switch would offer much less latency than a router.) --- "Rio Martin." <rio@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear folks, > I am thinking about routing inside my router box.
