seting up a lab

[cisco steps]

Hi

I set up a loopback0 as 192.168.22.2 /16

and when setting up a s0 w/ 192.168.22.3 /16 . I get

labr1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.22.3 255.255.0.0

192.168.0.0 overlaps with Loopback0

now I did chng loopback0 to 1.1.1.1 and I and I am ok , but just need to know why the overlaps

Thanks

Routers will not allow you to have overlapping address space across multiple interfaces on the same router. Your subnet mask on loopback 0 covers IP addresses in the 192.168.X.X subnet, as does serial 0. You can change the IP address and/or subnet mask on either interface so they don't have overlapping subnets.

HTH,

Mark
