I have a subnet programmed in a c2951 as 192.168.70.0 255.255.254.0 which provides 512 addresses. this needs to be expanded to accomodate 1000 addresses. when i program 192.168.70.0 255.255.252.0(or 192.168.70.0 0.0.3.255)the router converts it to 192.168.68.0. just verifying that those subnets are equivalent and that the ip work is ok.

Hi,
with 255.255.252.0 or /22 the subnet increment is 256-252= 4 so the subnet number whose 192.168.70.0 is a member IP address of is the 192.168.68.0 subnet with a range of valid host IPs of 192.168.68.1 - 192.168.71.254
so the IP you entered for this mask is a valid host IP not a subnet IP.
Edited the host range
Regards.

It wiil convert it because that is how subnettting boundaries work ie. when you enter 192.168.70.0 255.255.252.0 the router calculates it like this -
252 is the important octet. 256 - 252 = 4 so the networks goes up in 4's ie.
192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0 (/22)
192.168.4.0 /22
192.168.8.0/22
etc.
192.168.60.0/22
192.168.64.0/22
192.168.68.0/22 <-- this covers 192.168.70.0 because the next network entry is -
192.168.72.0/22
so your available network is 192.168.68.0/22, host addresses are 192.168.68.1 -> 71.254 with 192.168.71.255 being the broadcast address.
