Configuring 2 Router Interfaces to the same subnet

[haithamnofal]

Hi There,

I have the following setup: Border router which has a serial interface connected to the ISP and 2 internal FE interfaces which need to be connected to 2 different switches in the LAN-side for redundancy. Of course, the 2 FE interfaces should have addresses from the same subnet; but when I try to assign those interfaces different IP addresses from the same subnet an error message reading Overlap in IP addresses appear to me.

The question is how can I assign the 2 interfaces different addresses from the same subnet to achieve redundancy? Thanks!

Regards,

hi haitham

you need to configure the bridging between two ethernet interface and also have to configure the bridge virtual interface. with the help of bridging you can have both the interface in same subnet.
