Hi Fred, Yes we are using vlans. Hence why we purchased the types of switches
What I listed was a suggestion in which I asked if that way to would work. I know you can create another vlan sub-interface and start moving the the new addresses. I was thinking of the idea that if the switches can accept more than 2 default routes then why wont that way work What is wrong with dual default routes? As i understand according to how these works there will be a primary default etc regards, seun >From: "Reimer, Fred" >To: "gab S.E jones" , [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: switch default gateway question [7:72288] >Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2003 10:11:24 -0400 > >Say what? > >Why don't you just create additional VLANs for the new address space(s) and >move PC's to the new VLANs as their addresses are changed?
