Two Networks in the same VLAN? Is it possible?
At a technical perspective, it seems like it would be simple to do. Create a new self-IP from a new subnet, but just assign it in the same VLAN and have your servers set their default GW to that self-IP. The only issue I'm running into now, is getting the servers from the old network, talk to the new.
I have static routes built out on the OEs, but wasn't sure if there were any additional configurations that were needed on the F5.
Thanks
Hi anesler,
- Mahmoud_Eldeeb_Cirrostratus
yes, you can use two networks or two different subnets sharing same vlan id, however it is not recommended
- Mahmoud_Eldeeb_CirrostratusDon't forget to mark the answer as the solution if you would, please.
- anesler_160409NimbostratusCan you elaborate on why this is not recommended?
- cant speak for Mahmoud, but i do agree. you are adding complexity and with great chance on errors and difficult troubleshooting. if you dont have a very good need for this, dont do it.
