I simply add the IP address I wish to occupy on that subnet to the desired interface. Example: I have 2 subnets served by 1 switch (with no VLANs configured) Subnet 1 is 192.168.1.0 Subnet 2 is 192.168.2.0 I can configure eth0 on my system with 2 IP addresses, for example 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.2.4, each with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Now I can communicate with devices on either subnet, even though they can't communicate with each other. If the above doesn't work for you, we may need to learn more about your setup. Given what you've mentioned previously on this topic, I'm going to guess that you're trying to arrange it such that you can talk to the Ubiquiti router both on its default subnet as well as the one the rest of your network uses, without having to re-number your interface every time you try to change something. This is exactly the sort of thing I used to do when I was playing with these devices a lot. -wes _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
