Hello all,
I have two identical cells. Each have a PLC, HMI, Laser etc. The IPs are also identical so for instance both PLCs are 192.168.10.1. It would be ideal if they could stay that way.
I need to add a database PC that will be able to pull data from each of these PLCs. Can I add a NAT to one of the cells (Let's call it Cell A) and have Cell A on the "Public" side while Cell B is on the "Private" side without changing any of the device IPs?
Essentially I'm asking if the NAT will bark at me for having the same subnet on each side.
What I'm thinking is:
Cell A PLC IP 192.168.10.1 (on public side)
Cell B PLC IP 192.168.10.1 (on private side)
NAT Public IP 192.168.10.200
NAT Private IP 192.168.10.201
Translation 192.168.10.1 --> 192.168.10.10
So I'm hoping to end up with:
Cell A PLC IP 192.168.10.1
Cell B PLC IP 192.168.10.10
I'll be the first to admit I'm not great with subnets/network theory etc. I have a feeling this won't work. Can anyone confirm/deny?
