SRX5308 - Multi-homing / Connecting subnets
Hi! I've reached the point where I've exhausted my primary DHCP scope (e.g. 10.10.10.x) and need to create a secondary scope (10.10.11.x). DHCP is handled by the server, and a superscope has been conf...
Thanks for your input, guys. I haven't done anything since I posted, but today it works. That lovely feeling. :rolleyes:
Answers to fordem's points:
First: Bad choice of words. The scope isn't exhausted, but the 150 addresses I have chosen to assign to DHCP for my 40 users were all used in two days with a LOT of visitors. So I need to assign more IP addresses for such cases. The easiest solution is to add a new subnet, and in that case I need a gateway in the new subnet. Enter "multi-homing".
Second: Both subnets are class A. Name resolution, ping and general access works. At least NOW. Why I was unable to connect last week (I didn't try yesterday) with the same setup is beyond me.
I won't claim to be a network expert, but I'm not a complete n00b either. ;)
Adit; thanks for the suggestion. I might consider changing the mask later on, but I need to plan for that including multiple static devices and VPN connections...
