Ahh... right.  All that Cisco stuff coming back to me on that.  This should be 
true on the ISA side also.  Thanks.

Steve,

If you are using a /23 subnet on a 192.168.11.x range, it will include 
everything in the 192.168.10.x range, not the 192.168.12.x range. If you 
want/need 192.168.11.x and 192.168.12.x in the same subnet, you will need to 
use a /21 subnet, which will then include 192.168.8.x up to 192.168.15.x. This 
is for the NIC.

I guess the simplest question is, how do I modify the ISA server to utilize a 
/23 subnet on 1 NIC?

My ISA server has 5 NICs = 1 External, 4 Internal.  The 4 internal NICs 
separate out Staff, Students, Wireless, and Photographers.  The wireless 
network is growing immensely - I need to enlarge the subnet.  I would rather 
not add yet another NIC if I don't have to (would be less of an issue with 
Virtualization, though).

To the NIC properties on the box, I added the additional IP address of 
192.168.12.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.  I added that range in ISA to 
the Network that had only 192.168.11.1 on it.  I just need now for the machines 
in 192.168.11.X to communicate (any and all protocols) to/from 192.168.12.X.  
Like you mentioned, I probably have to add the Route Add command, but I was 
hoping that I could just change something in ISA to correct that (using routes 
in ISA).  That is why I thought about adding a second network name, on the same 
NIC, using the new range and then routing between them with a Policy to allow 
all traffic.

Subject: [isalist] Re: Extending a subnet

Steve,

So, it sounds like you only have one NIC on that ISA box?  Or are there 
multiple NICs, one for each network you have (internal, external, edge) and you 
simply wanted to change the "size" of the internal network?

By adding 192.168.12.1 in the Advanced tab of the Network IP Properties of the 
NIC, you really only added a virtual IP address to that NIC, not a range (what 
subnet mask did you use, though?).  When you say you're trying to communicate 
between those two IP address (I assume 192.168.11.1 and 192.168.12.1), to which 
specific kind of communication are you referring?

In any case, if you added another internal network to which you want traffic 
from other legs of the ISA server to communicate with, usually that's just a 
matter of adding the range to the Internal Network Element in ISA and 
configuring a static persistent route on the server at the OS level.

Usually, that means I would expect to see something like the following:

192.168.11.0/24<http://192.168.11.0/24> is the network on which the server's 
internal interface resides.
You add 192.168.12.0 to 192.168.12.255 to the ISA Internal Network Element (or 
increase the range from 192.168.11.0-192.168.11.255 to 
192.168.11.0-192.168.12.255).
You add a persistent static route that points traffic destined to the 
192.168.12.0/24<http://192.168.12.0/24> to the default gateway for the internal 
interface.

Example
Internal Interface IP Address: 192.168.11.10
Internal Interface Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Internal Interface Default Gateway: 192.168.11.1

route add -p 192.168.12.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.1

That route add command would create a persistent static route in the server's 
routing table that would route all traffic destined for the 
192.168.12.0/24<http://192.168.12.0/24> network to your default gateway.

This assumes, of course, that you have a separate NIC for each network 
connected to the ISA server and not just one.  If, however, you only have 1 NIC 
to which all networks are bound, first, shame on you; I believe Tom calls that 
Bork Mode. :)  Be that as it may, though, we should then try to understand what 
kind of communication you want to occur between the specific IP addresses and 
take it from there (note that there may be some things that simply just won't 
work).

Thanks Jerry.  I did try to expand the subnet by changing the 3rd octet (from 
255.255.255.0 to 255.255.254.0) for the Subnet Mask on the NIC and making the 
IP range larger, but that didn't work either.  In ISA, I also had changed the 
Network range from 192.168.11.0-192.168.11.255 to 192.168.11.0-192.168.12.255 
with the larger subnet mask.  Since that didn't work, I tried the dual homed 
method.

Yes, you caught me and my bad spelling - dual homed the NIC to 192.168.11.1 and 
added 192.168.12.1 in the Advanced tab of the Network IP Properties of the NIC. 
 On ISA, I just added the 2nd Range of IPs to the one Named Network in Networks 
configuration.

Perhaps I need to create a distinct Named Network with the new range of IPs 
(same NIC as the other Named Network) and then create a Network Rule Route 
between the two with Policy to allow all traffic between the two Networks.  
Just thinking out loud.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Subject: [isalist] Re: Extending a subnet

Steve,

I'm not sure a 24-bit subnet mask is "standard", although it is probably the 
most often used, and, technically speaking there are only 254 usable IP 
addresses in that block (I know, I got a bit pedantic like Jim tends to). :)

For the purposes of this discussion, though, you'll probably have to get fairly 
specific with how you've carved up your networks and the IP addresses you've 
added.  The next largest block you can use is a 23-bit subnet mask but that 
essentially doubles the total number of usable IP addresses.

In general, though, you usually need to think in terms of IP address ranges and 
then map backwards to required subnets.

So, when you say you've dual honed (I think you mean dual homed?) one 
particular NIC to add an additional range of IP addresses, how did you 
configure that NIC?

ISA 2006, on Win 2k3.

I have a situation where I need to add more IPs to a particular Internal 
Network than the standard 256.  On our ISA server, I've dual honed the one 
particular NIC to add an additional range of IP addresses.  I've also changed 
the network parameter in ISA to account for the additional IP range.  Finally, 
I setup a Super Scope in DHCP to accommodate the new IP range.  From my other 
sites (Dial Up VPN), and even from the other legs of the ISA server, there's no 
issues bi-directionally getting to clients in the new IP range.  However, I 
can't seem to communicate between the two IP ranges on the same NIC.  Is there 
some sort of routing thingy I need to do on the ISA box?

Thanks in advance.
