[c-nsp] Placing a AON device on an existing /30 subnet

[nasir.shaikh at bt.com]

Hi,

 

We are currently looking at Cisco 8340s and IPANEMA IP engines to deploy
an application optimization service for one of our customers.

These devices would have to be inserted in an existing point-to-point
connection which is using a /30 subnet.

For management of the device I would have to expand the subnet which
requires renumbering.

 

1.	For Cisco 8340s which have CDP functionality, can I give these
devices a management IP address which is different from the subnet on
which they are? I would have to use static routes for the devices to
resolve the routing issue. Would this work?
2.	Are there any other options to avoid the renumbering?

 

Thanks
