Having just gone through a renumber, I can say that it would probably be just as easy to use the 2nd ethernet port and setup your new network on that, create new pools and off you go.
If you are using OSPF you will need to create new send policies etc, but it isn't to hard to make the transition pretty seamless.
Speaking of 2nd ethernet port, I was wondering what are people using that 2'nd port for? Does it need to be in a separate subnet from the other port?
Yes, you must be in a separate subnet. I was considering splitting up traffic between the eth1 and eth2 ports, but later decided that what wouldn't gain much so instead added a 2nd ARC. If you have 2 arcs in your chassis you probably wouldn't be pushing enough traffic through one ARC to justify using the 2nd port. There are probably other uses for it but I haven't thought of any for our application. - Mike ------------------------------------------------ Rock Island Communications, Inc.
