If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
a.) your static route solution would work (other things being equal of
course), though if there are no other L3 devices in the way it you may be
able to get away with no extra routes on that WAN router if the subnet ends
up directly connected, remember to configure routes appropriately on any
routers in between + don't forget firewall rules and routes.
b.) two answers
subinterfaces - you can create subinterfaces (can't remember how many, but
its lots) and each can have different IP. Remember to configure trunking on
the switch facing it and create VLANs as appropriate. Your subinterfaces
will also need the correct trunking configs.
e.g. if your switch has VLAN10, VLAN20 and you configure a trunk going to
the router interface, the router interface config would be
interface Fa0/0
no ip address
interface Fa0/0.10
ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
encapsulation dot1q 10
interface Fa0/0.20
ip address y.y.y.y. y.y.y.y
encapsulation dot1q 20
(repeat etc.)
physical interface - You can assign a secondary IP but it has to be in a
separate subnet. This is a legacy feature for the days before VLANs and
everybody used hubs, so you could have separate networks behind a single
LAN interface without using VLANs.
