- I am new to the game of using cisco routers and am not familiar with
- all of the things that I might be able to do with our MGS/2. I am
- almost certain that what I need to do can't be done. But if I don't
- ask I won't discover that I am wrong.
-
- The design of this network is not of my choice so don't ask me why we
- have done such a silly thing as we have. That just won't be helpful.
-
- I have a large bridged network -- part fddi and part ethernet -- with
- at least two and perhaps as many as 5 subnets connected to it. The
- number beyond two depends on how I connect some currently unconnected
- networks. I have a cisco router that connects this mess to a well
- designed ethernet with a couple of hosts, a router to the outside
- world and at Telebit Netblazer that uses dialup PPP to connect some
- other disconnected pieces of our network.
-
- The cisco is currently routing one subnet of the bridged network to
- the second ethernet. That leaves me with two problems for the other
- subnets. Routing them to the outside world and routing between them.
- Can I get my cisco to solve these problems using secondary addresses
- or some such?
-
- If it is important we are using RIP for routing.
-
- Thanks for any help.
