    Configuring Windows Server 2012 R2 as a Router


    This is a guide to setting up Windows Server 2012 R2 routing/NAT functionality.

    This feature is a part of "Remote Access" and allows for connecting 2 networks together, allowing a Windows
    machine with at least 2 NICs on 2 separate networks to handle the routing between them.
    To install this feature complete the steps below.

     Note: The RRAS configuration portion of this guide may be used for Windows Server versions from
    2003 to 2012 R2 as that portion of setup has not changed much since its first implementation.

    Prerequisites
    Windows 2012 R2
    2 Physical or virtual NICs
    Static IP's on each NIC, 1 on each separate network

    1. To start, from Server Manager click Manage > Add Roles and Features.
    2. On the Before You Begin page, click Next.
    3. Select Role-based or feature-based installation and click Next.
    4. On Server Selection select the server you want to install the feature on and click Next.
    5. In the list of Server Roles, select Remote Access and click Next.

    and DHCP separately from RRAS.
