Beryl routing.

Hi all,

First, new here so if I make any faux pas don't hesitate to tell me...

I am setting up the following system:

netgear M5 192.168.1.0 <USB tether> 192.168.8.4 beryl 192.168.8.1 <ether cable> 192.168.8.2 Unifi DreamMachine 10.11.12.2 <ether cables...>

I have a Pi3 connected via ether to the beryl @ 192.168.8.20. I can see it from a local box:
$ traceroute 192.168.8.20
traceroute to 192.168.8.20 (192.168.8.20), 64 hops max
1 10.11.12.2 0.126ms 0.114ms 0.109ms
2 192.168.8.1 0.898ms 0.372ms 0.348ms
3 192.168.8.20 0.833ms 0.623ms 0.556ms

But I can't see the local box from the Pi3:
$ route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 192.168.8.1 0.0.0.0 UG 202 0 0 eth0

192.168.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 303 0 0 wlan0
ngm:~ $ traceroute 10.11.12.69
traceroute to 10.11.12.69 (10.11.12.69), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

2 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 1.963 ms 1.930 ms 2.129 ms
3 * * *
4 * * *
5 * * *
6 * * *
7 * * *
8 *^C

It tries to go out to the inet, instead of to my local net. I know I need routes for 10.11.12.0 on the Pi3, and I suspect the beryl,
but everything I try fails to solve the problem.

So the question is:
What routes do I have to setup on the Pi3 and/or beryl to allow a path from the Pi3 to my local net?

tia,
Steve

Is your Beryl connected to the Unifi as a WAN, on a WAN port? Otherwise you have a mismatched subnet at the ethernet unifi interface.

Lest I misunderstand.


Side note, love my Dream Machine Pro. Got the Dream Machine regular for my father in law. Good machines as long as you disable automatic update, lol.

Yes.

The Beryl WAN port is cabled to the UDM WAN port

The Beryl is tethered to the netgear @ 192.168.1.4
The Beryl is setup @ 192.168.8.1
The UDM WAN router is set to 192.168.8.1 and its address is set to 192.168.8.2

All internet functions work as expected.

Forgot to mention ...

Decided to do some thru-put testing. In this configuration speedtest.com
freezes the netgear M5!!! No front-panel, no pings, even the app can't see it.
Tried different cables, no luck. Repeated the experiment 3-4 times, always the same:
tethered Beryl, speedtest hangs.
direct ethernet from netgear to udm, no hang.
So this may be academic (but am still interested in figuring it out!)

Oh, and I have been looking at that little notice about "updates are available" for months now!
I'm too chicken to try... if it ain't broke, don't fix it

UDM updates are too scary for me, lol

You have me cornfused. LAN to WAN is how I run router to router. You likely are way ahead of me in the network setup knowledge but I've typically seen the WAN port to be a dhcp client to the connected serving router. If your getting internet through it to the UDM I guess it works but I've never seen a WAN port on one router used to serve the WAN to another routers WAN port.

Also, I would expect the WAN port of the UDM to be in the subnet of the beryl, but the UDM to have a separate subnet itself unless you completely shut its dhcp server off. Otherwise you have two routers with competing dhcp servers.

Maybe I misunderstand
