I was reading an article the other day for CCDA, and it raised the following
question -
You support a network getting close to using their complete range of ip
addresses. They need to add another 30 computers and hence IP addresses.
They do not have 30 IP addresses. How would you configure this, and why?
Now, I don't know if this is possible, but I thought of allocating the new
machines IP addresses on a different physical subnet, but same physical
media (ie original network uses 192,168.1.1-255, allocating second network
192.168.2.1-255). Allocating the existing router a primary and secondary ip
address on the ethernet port. The primary being for the existing network,
and the secondary being for the new network addresses that you are
configuring.
Set the default gateway on the new machines for the existing router, so all
DNS, WINS, DCHP requests can be met by servers on the existing network,
obviously be enabling routing between the 2 networks.
Do you think this would work??? Any other ideas? I was thinking any router
with a single ethernet interface could carry this out using primary and
secondary addressing....is this possible, or would you need a dedicated
router with 2 ethernet ports, and maintain both networks on separate network
media.
Thanks for your help and ideas
