Joining two LAN

English Network/Internet
#1

I have one LAN A: 192.168.0.0 with gw 192.168.0.1, this gw is an
openSUSE 12.2 x86_64 with squid3 and shorewall

The LAN B: 192.168.1.0 whitout gw

Also I have a MPLS with one node on each LAN, the MPLS gw are
192.168.0.12 and 192.168.1.12

But, how can I join this 2 LAN to work together?

A router.

What’s a MPLS?

Solution 1
If your two networks are physically connected to each other (share the same wires and switches, not separated by a router), you can configure a subnet mask that makes all your hosts part of the same network… eg a Class B subnet mask (255.255.0.0).

Solution 2
If your networks are physically separated, then you can configure a multi-homed device connecting the two networks. If you select a bridging device, then you should configure a subnet mask like in Solution 1. But, if you connect your networks with a router, then you’ll likely want to configure a Class C subnet mask (because your IP addresses are also part of the Class C Private Network range). Depending on how you position your gateways, the actual physical setup and whether you want any/all hosts to have access to the Internet will determine how you configure Default Gateways, gateways and routing tables.

They’re connected through the MPLS VPN

The things I posted still apply.

Depending on how you configure your VPN, LAN B still needs to know how to leave your network. You likely need to configure a DG either to LAN A (most likely). That way for any LAN B hosts, any packets destined for an unknown host would be routed to LAN A, and if the destination is still unknown would be routed through LAN A’s DG. Assumes you’re configuring a Class C default subnet mask for both LAN A and LAN B. But would be different if you’ve configured a VLAN.

Name resolution can also be a separate issue.
