cant ping when adding secondary ip to 1 fastethernet interface on 1700 router

Aug 17, 2005 2 Replies

I am testing on a local router adding a second ip. when i add a secondary ip in the same subnet everything works but when i add a secondary ip in a different subnet i cant ping from or to the router. i also try adding a second ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 mynewgateway but that did not work. I will change providers soon and i would like to make sure that when they put the router in the new location everything will continue working. can this be done? thanks


Thanks, I almost thought that was going to work. I was adviced to set the default route as the interface and worked better but it did not solve the problem. I will upload the configuration to the router with the changes using tftp that is probably the best way.
