Guys,

Can anyone offer an explanation for the following: -

I have allocated a secondary IP address to a FastEthernet interface on =
my 7204 router running IOS 12.1 using the following command: -

 "ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x secondary"

[The interface is running HSRP on the primary address but not on the =
secondary]

 I have an IP helper on the interface to my DHCP server.

I have created an additional superscope on the DHCP server so that I can =
have 500+ IP addresses on the same wire.

The problem is I cannot see the secondary IP address from the network =
(cannot ping it from a client machine or even from the router itself). =
If I do a show run the interface has accepted the address. If I ping the =
broadcast address for the secondary subnet I get a response from all IP =
addresses on both the primary and the secondary subnets. If I manually =
edit a client PC with an IP address from the secondary range but use the =
primary address gateway as the default then the machine can communicate =
over the network., but if I allocate the default gateway as the =
secondary IP address on the interface the client cannot see it??

Any ideas guys?

Regards

Tel
