network across multiple ports

[Ed Lo]

Hello,

I'm using a 1941w router. Is it possible to have a network be used across both of the gigabitethernet ports that it has? So for example if I make a DHCP pool with a range of 192.168.22.0 would I be able to apply it to both GE0/0 and GE0/1?

thank you

Hello,

the short answer is: no. The IOS will not allow you to apply the same address space to two different layer 3 ports. The only option you have is to bridge both interfaces:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

bridge-group 1

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

bridge-group 1

interface BVI1

ip address 192.168.22.1
