Familiarity with Spanning Tree Protocol would seem to be a distinct "plus" for such an effort. >I am using an internal 10.*.*.* network, but only one class-C subnet of it. >10.10.10.* with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.192 dividing my network into >four subnets. Here's what I got out of rfc1878 that I based all this on: >... >Currently, everything is in the first subnet, and when the gateway is >activated, the internal stuff will be moved into the third subnet (by simply >adding 100 to the host address). ...so currently the gateway has .2 and .29 >and internal addresses are .30 - .33 but the gateway's internal interface >will be .129 and internal will be .130 - .133 . >Thanks in advance for any help... It's not as if net 10 (or any other RFC 1918) addresses are in particularly short supply. I would recommend that each NIC be set up to be on a completely separate network.
