[FW1] Cisco 2621

[Paul Messer <paul.messer@FW1-NOSPAMtandf.co.uk>]

Dear All,

slightly off topic ..but I know where the expertise lays on this type of 
subject.......


We have a Cisco 2621 router (not yet in use)...and we want it to serve our 
4 site WAN.

We have FW1 running on an NT  box and the 2621 has two ethernet ports, one 
to plug the internal side of the firewall in to and the other to plug the 
local Basingstoke network into.

Three of the remaining 4 serial ports are for the remaining 3 sites of our WAN.

Firewall Internal Interface IP address = 10.10.10.10

2621 Ethernet 0 IP address = 10.10.10.1 (for historical reasons)

When I try and give Ethernet 1 the ip address = 10.10.10.2 I get a message 
from the router stating that the ip address on interface 0 overlaps...does 
anyone know of any way that I can set the ip addresses on the ethernet port 
to be the same network i.e. a broadcast ?

The only other idea I have is to give it another ip network and route 
between the two..is this the only way or are there any sensible solutions....

Currently we have separate routers for each WAN connection and the Firewall 
box plugs straight into our Basingstoke network switch which obviously adds 
a bottleneck in that every packet destined for the internet has to go via 
the Basingstoke network.

Any help greatfully revceived......


Paul.
