Hi All, Im new to cisco and I am trying to configure a new cisco 1721 router. My intention is to keep our 2 networks more or less seperate except to send small amounts of data to and from each other when necessary (i.e. keep network traffic seperate). One network is using the range
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 with the sunet mask of 255.255.255.0 and uses a DHCP server. The other network, which hasn't been setup yet, I would like to use the range 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.254 with the same subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 but IP's will be statically assigned.I need the DHCP'ed PC's to be able to access the statically assigned PC's on the other network for data sharing.
As I'm new to cisco I was hoping someone would be able to give me some pointers as to what needs to be configured on the router.
So far what I have done is: Enabled fastethernet0 with a no shutdown command Issued ip subnet-zero command in the config section Set the ip address of the interface to 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 'Tried' to map route to switch using 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
192.168.2.2This last command fails and returns the message inconsistent address and mask. Whilst experimenting I got it to map successfully using the mask 255.255.255.255 but as I want both networks on the subnet
255.255.255.0 I need to get it working with the other subnet.
zero subnets although a ip subnet-xero command show allow this. I've tried this and am still getting an inconsistent address and masak message.
Anyone got any ideas??
