Two Cisco Routers in one class-c network

chasm_Ger · ‎05-10-2006

Hello,

i have two cisco routers, which are connected to one switch. On this switch, there are several servers connected as well.

When i connected the second cisco router, i got messages on the first router, that there is an ip address conflict. After a few minutes it seems as if the vpn tunnel on the first router breaks down because of this conflict. I'm not sure about this, but when i disconnected the second router again, the vpn tunnel could be established again. The vpn tunnel goes to another router via WAN and ends in the local class-c network, where both routers are in.

Router1

LAN 192.168.105.254 (255.255.255.0)

WAN 212.xxx.xxx.xxx

||

Router2

LAN IP 192.168.105.253 (255.255.255.0)

WAN IP 217.xxx.xxx.xxx

Router1

int fa 0/1

ip address 192.168.105.254 255.255.255.0

Router2

int fa 0/1

ip address 192.168.105.253 255.255.255.0

Could the /24 mask on the interfaces cause the conflicts?

From the servers, none has the ip 192.168.105.253 or 192.168.105.254 and if i disconnect Router2, the IP 192.168.105.253 is not reachable from any system on the switch.

So how does this ip address conflict occur?

Hi Friend,

You can very well have same subnet on 2 different routers so it is not a problem.

Can you confirm if on remote end where VPN tunnel is terminating if any system has an ip 192.168.105.253 255.255.255.0.

Hello Ankur,

thanks for your answer.

On the remote ends of the vpn tunnels are no local networks with 192.168.105.0/24.

I changed the ip of the second router to 192.168.105.252 ... 251 and 250, all unused so far. But the error messages still occured.

This evening i will try again.

hello,

can you check the router 1 log. with error message you should have a mac address

May 10 05:32:20.489: %IP-4-DUPADDR: Duplicate address 10.10.10.1 on GigabitEthernet0/1.1, sourced by 0003.oc12.a2c3

This should help you to identify host already with 192.168.105.253.

Before connecting Router 2, from Router 1 ping 192.168.105.253 and do a sh arp ?

HTH,

This time, no duplicate ip error messages occured.

I dont know what was the issue last time.

But this time i got another problem, but i will do a new conversation for it, because it is not related to the issue of this conversation.

Thanks for your help
