Hi

Can I share one segment ethernet interface between two network
segments.
I am running out of ports on Cisco routers one option is buy another
router or have one interface share traffic between two different
network segments.

Like eth0 is sharing two network segment 10.1.11.0/24 and
10.1.12.0/24.

I really dount but if there is a way around without getting involved
with too many ACLs or static routes to isolate traffic please Iwould
like to know.

Thanks

You could give the interface a secondary address, although you may
experience some minor complications. See the thread

boneheaded reply...

You can add a secondary address, but that means always routing between the
two subnets. IMO, a better way to do this would be to use a different
subnet mask, which would allow for more hosts. Unfortunately, the addresses
that you have don't work well for expanding the mask, but if you don't mind
moving some of your addresses, then it could work well.

For example....

10.1.10.0/23 gives you 10.1.10.0-10.1.11.255
or
10.1.12.0/23 gives you 10.1.12.0-10.1.13.255

Hope that helps,

Jim

If you have VLAN capable routers and switches, then you could use 802.1q
VLANs to split the subnets.

requirement on the router is a unit with 802.1q capable h/w (any 17xx ecept
1720 or 1710, 26xx and up with a 10/100 Ethernet port).

You need IOS Plus on a 26xx for this - the software needed will vary
depending on the router range.

Once you have this you configure subinterfaces on the ethernet port for each
subnet, and set it up to talk to the corresponding VLAN.

Hi,

Yes,
You could put up sub interfaces on the same interface. In that case You have
to put on bridge interfaces (BVI) on the router, if the IOS let you. As I
see it its better to use subinterfaces than secondary addresses because the
subinterfaces can act as a router between different vlans and also so You
can put up seperate access-lists and other functions for each subinterface.

Also, it has been my experience thus far (at least through IOS 11) that you
are required to use 100mb speed if you attempt to configure vlan subifs.
