Title: RE: stupid questions

Yes, I originally read the question this way (ports from the same router), although I believe the first language of the original poster is not English, so it's hard to say exactly what he/she was asking.   Frank, I'm not offended or anything by your response, so don't take this the wrong way, but please don't be so sarcastic with your replies.  I'm spending time during my day as you are to help where needed and learn as I can.   BTW - I think I've heard of this backbone thingy a time or two!  :-}   Rik, CCNP -----Original Message----- From: McCallum, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 11:15 AM To: 'Frank'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: stupid questions Yes Frank you are right here.  BUT the original question was can you have 2 Ethernet ports on the SAME router in the SAME subnet.  Which from this question Rik is perfectly correct. -----Original Message----- From: Frank [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 October 2000 15:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: stupid questions Just one minor correction.... Of course you can have multiple router ports on a single subnet!! Why couldn't you?!?!?  I just happen to have that implemented here... it's called.... hhhmmm.. a backbone!! ""Guyler, Rik [EESUS]"" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... No, 2 router ports cannot be on the same subnet.  You can, however, setup HSRP (Hot-Standby Router Protocol), which will give you the redundancy you need.  This requires 2 routers but gives you complete router redundancy and not just port/link redundancy.  Search for HSRP on www.cisco.com.
