other alternatives to IP unnumbered

[cashqoo]

hi guys,

need some help here. my situation is a bit complicated.

1. i have a few sites which are interconnected.

2. there are multiple mobile sets of equipment(servers and catalyst 3560 switch) which i need to connect at different sites. (i cant use repeated subnets)

3. i cant change the ip address/subnets/configuration of the servers and switch, when deploying at different sites. (big problem to me)

i was previously looking at IP unnumbered + OSPF to apply on the mobile sets of equipment. but noticed that IP unnumbered on non pt-to-pt interrfaces (which happens to be a 3560) does not work with dynamic protocols.

is there any solutions/alternatives which i can achive mobility on equipment?

thanks in advance.

Hi there,

It just popped in my head; you can create a VLAN for the mobile equipment, then create a SVI with a IP address designated for the mobile equipment. set the ospf to point to that SVI (virtual int) for the mobile set, have ur devices connect through that VLAN and their permanent ip address, using a SVI as gateway.

Hope it Helps,

Soroush.
