One computer (RPi CM4), 2 NICs, two separate networks

I have a RPi CM4 machine with 2 NICs. I want to be able to communicate with the main network on eth0 (192.168.1.x) and a separate network on eth1 (192.168.0.x).

For the main network connection, IT gave me 192.168.1.224, mask 255.255.254.0, Gateway 192.168.1.1. So that is how I set up eth0 (also tried 255.255.255.0 mask)

I set eth1 to 192.168.0.200. Didn’t set a mask or Gateway.

With no connection present on eth1, I can ping eth0 and ssh into it.
When I connect eth1, I can no longer ping or ssh.

I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m a total noob/beginner/dunce when it comes to networking.
