+Set yourself (the router) a **static ip address**:

+ifconfig eth1 up
+ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 dev eth1

+Configure iptables to **route traffic** from **eth1 to eth0 and viceversa**:
+<code bash>
+# postrouting to our gateway interface eth0
+iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
+# this should in theory, block incoming packets that were not established first
+iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o eth1 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
+iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
+# enable ip forwarding if you haven't done yet
+echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
+</code>
+To finish the setup, **restart the isc-dhcp-server**
+<code bash>systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server</code>

+=== Setup a DNS Server (Highly recommended) ===
+We will be using **dnsmasq** as our DNS Server, because it is very easy to install and configure.
+<code bash>apt-get install dnsmasq</code>
+Configure the dns server:
+<code bash>vim /etc/dnsmasq.conf</code>
+<file bash dnsmasq.conf>
+# bind on custom interface or ip
+#except-interface=lo
+#bind-interfaces
+#listen-address=192.168.2.1
+# log dns queries and dhcp requests
+#log-queries
+#log-dhcp
+# expand /etc/hosts hosts to your dns
+expand-hosts
+# forward dns request to this ip
+# when you can't resolve an address
+server=1.1.1.1
+# if omitted, dnsmasq will use resolvconf to return
+# the dns configuration inherited by the dhcp server
+</file>
+Restart the **dnsmasq** server
+<code bash>systemctl restart dnsmasq</code>

+=== Connect your server or laptop to the switch you've configured earlier, and wollah! ===
