Problem with adding secondry vlan interface on extreme C5G124-24P2 - Could not set the interface network.

[JP_Pieterse]

Hi all,

I am trying to set a secondary interface IP on VLAN 1. Due to business changes I needs to move away from their Class C network to a class B network. I am adding a secondry IP to be able to route between old and new network.

Here is what happens:
DetNet_Router(su)->router
DetNet_Router(su)->router>enable
DetNet_Router(su)->router#configure
Enter configuration commands:
DetNet_Router(su)->router(Config)#interface vlan 1
DetNet_Router(su)->router(Config-if(Vlan 1))#ip address 172.20.0.1 255.255.0.0 secondary
Could not set the interface network.

The primary interface on this vlan is 192.168.0.1 255.255.240.0

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Just as a side note to all.

It looks like you have to shut down the interface before you can add secondary IP.

this is achieved by command "shutdown" when in router config mode.

you can start it again with command "no shutdown"

Just guess: the IP you are adding is already on different vlan?

tried show interface - displays all vlan interfaces but the 172.20.0.1 is on none of them.
