Hi, did you create the NAT rules successfully?

I am trying to create a network setup that would take many devices that are working together and have them appear as one device or IP on a network using a Siemens Scalance S615.

The setup would be as follows.

I would have a VPN connection into the network and would have access to VLAN 1 (external) of the S615, all of the devices would be connected to VLAN 2 of the S615.

Plant network -------------------------------192.168.1.0/24
VLAN 1(S615, external facing)---------192.168.2.0/24
VLAN 2(S615, has several devices)--192.168.3.0/24

I do not have access to the plant network configuration, only the S615 and our other devices.

Ideally the VPN would connect me right to the vlan 1 and the rest of the network would only see the 1 IP address of the gateway of vlan 1 (192.168.2.1) but once connected I can see and interact with all of the devices.

From my reading it seems to be solved by static routing or NAT, however I am still learning and have not been able to successfully get the two vlans to communicate.

To add: I am not concerned about having multiple vlans or firewalling, That is just how the S615 comes configured, if there is a way to have all the ip address appear as one without separating them with a vlan that is acceptable.

The main goal is to have all of the PLCs drives etc. in the cabinet appear as one IP address to the rest of the network.

I do not have control over the plant network or the VPN, the only devices I have control of is the S615 and the PLCs and drives
