Dividing Subnets on Cisco 1700

Jason Caron

Level 1

I currently have a Cisco 1700 with the configuration below.

I would like to divide one of the subnets on FA0 : ip address 216.17.190.1 255.255.254.0.

What do I need to do to divide that into two equal subnets.

hostname stdshersteambocomdfrtra

aaa new-model

aaa authentication login default local

enable secret 5 $1$YMlo$30YilvB4w29dKa8Zivhbm1

The problem that I immediately see is that your mask wouldn't match up to the providers mask any longer, and you might lose connection.

Theoretically, you could change your private primary address to a 24 bit mask (255.255.255.0) and then your next network would be:

216.17.191.0/24

So you would set up 216.17.191.1 as a secondary address.

So could I remove the current:

ip address 216.17.190.1 255.255.254.0

and replace it with:

ip address 216.17.190.1 255.255.255.0

ip address 216.17.191.1 255.255.255.0

Now I would have two fully functional Class C subnets?

"Now I would have two fully functional Class C subnets?"

Yes, but I'd warn you that you might lose connection to your provider. Theoretically it should work, but it might not.

What would I want to do to make sure I would not lose connectivity?

I would call the provider and ask them to split them up for you. Then schedule downtime to make the change.

Since I don't see your topology, I'm assuming that the interface you want to change does connect to an ISP. If so, then I would call them and tell them the change that you want to make.

Are you local to the router, or are you remote? If you want to try to make the change without calling the ISP, then you can telnet into the Serial interface, and make your changes on the interface that you want to change. I would get a ping going to the address that's on the interface you want to change, and I'd ping both .1s from both "new" subnets to make sure they were routing correctly through your providers network after the change.
