IP address: inconsistent value

IP address: inconsistent value

Hi,
my LAN address is 192.168.4.0/23, therefore I could use address from 4.1 to 5.254.
But when I try to assign 192.168.5.0/23 as a 2626 address the answer is: "inconsistent value".
What's wrong?
Thanks

Re: IP address: inconsistent value

could be the switch still relates the adress to the standard classes.
10.0.0.0 /8
172.16.0.0/16
192.168.0.0/24
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

So even if you specify /23 it still won't accept "x.x.x.0" as this is not valid in the /24-class where 192.168.5.0 comes from.
Then it also must not accept 192.168.4.255!

Try if 192.168.5.1/23 is accepted.
If so, call it a bug and skip the .0- adress.
Or try if the switch knows the command "ip classless", see if it makes some difference.

Re: IP address: inconsistent value

Massimo,
I found something else.
you may have to do a
no ip address 192.168.4.218 255.255.254.0
before
ip address 192.168.5.x 255.255.254.0
else it is seen as configuring a secondary adress on the same interface.
not replacing the old adress!
This secondary adress cannot be in the same subnet.
