RE: Multiple Public IP ranges

[Sanjeev Neelarapu <sa...@citrix.com>]

Hi Travis,

This is just a restriction from the CS side. There is no technical reason for not supporting it. As I said earlier this may be supported in future versions of CS.

Thanks,
Sanjeev

Hello Sanjeev,

>From a networking perspective I'm not sure why that's even an issue. By default all things in a network are VLAN 1, so by having different subnets in an untagged VLAN is logically the same as having everything in VLAN 1. Why would that be problematic for CS? It's the same collision domain and a very typical network setup.

Perhaps you can explain how large installs handle multiple subnets efficiently? Or how CS uses the VLAN ID for each subnet in relation to the physical network.

It sounds to me like I can't add multiple CIDRs without making changes to our switching gear to allow traffic to pass into our existing network. Does that sound on par with normal large installs?

Thanks,
Travis
