You have two problems. Problem 1:) Rip is operating in classfull mode, and not propagating correct information. Solution: Change to RIP version 2 which is classless, and make sure IP Classless is set in the routers. Problem 2:) The acquired company is operating in non-RFC compliant Private Ip space. Meaning it is using IP information that conflicts with IP's already in use on the internet. The two /24's aggregate to 63.76.147.0/23 is owned by UUnet, and Leased to Netier Technologies. If you make these IP's routable on your network, you lose routability to the associated subnets on the internet. If that is unacceptable, then you need to A.Change the Ip's to something valid or B.NAT. Solution: At the gateway from the existing network to the new network, use a Cisco router to one-to-one NAT from the invalid IP range to an IP range that is valid and routable on your network. (i.e. 63.76.147.1 = 132.237.111.1, 63.76.147.2 = 132.237.111.2...) Leave this solution in place until the IP migration is complete. Based on past experience, this solution works, but If you accessing NT servers at NewSite from OldSite, then you need an Lmhosts file, static WINS entries, or DNS entries that contain the Nat'd Ip's. Users from NewSite accessing resources at Oldsite don't have any issues.

[7:3136] my company has just acquired a new company and we are trying to integrate it in our infrastructure. Our company owns its owns a class B network of 132.237.0.0/16. We are using a frame relay to connect to various sites around the world. However the new site we acquired has 2 routable network address of 63.76.147.0/24 and 63.76.148.0/24 . I am trying to create a static route between our frame router to the frame router at the new site which is connected to an old Bay router (original router before acquisition) . I dot know much about the sprint frame but I do know they are redristibuting ospf to rip to all existing sites..(not including new one). I have been informed that the 63.0.0.0 ADDRESS BELONGS TO UUNET and Cbale and wireless. Lan e0 ----e0 sj frame router s1---- sprint frame ----------s1 texas frame router e0----e0 Bay router ---------63.76.147.0/24-----internet router -----internet sj (132.237.x.x) ---------63.76.148.0/24 LAN Any way when i created a static route with the two 63 adresses from SJ I was able to ping the network in Texas , and they vice versa. However I got calls from poeple saying that they were no longer able to connect to certain websites , and one of our DS3 went down . The websites we were unable to get to all had adresses in the 63.x.x.x /8 range. Also the DS3 had a 63 networrk address. when I did a sh ip route I saw we were learnin the a full calss A network 63.0.0.0 / 8 subnetted 2 times. My static route was ip route 63.76.147.0 255.255.255.0 132.237.x.x (e0 sj frame router) . ... ....148.0 255.255.255.0 then from sj fram router sprint added a static for the two networks to the s1 interface of the texas frame router. We have been on for a while trouble shooting this issue with sprint .. and they insisted it is not possible to redistribute the two 63 Networks with a class C due to RIP limitations.. however all our IOS are 11.3 and higher.. Eventually after a while we will be replacing the 63 networks with our network scheme .. cant do it for a while ... Does any one have an idea what im trying to get to as I dont .....
