Can two networks have the same subnet?

Can two networks have the same subnet?

When there are 2 interfaces on the same subnet there is no assurance as to which interface will be used to transmit traffic and the machine will accept traffic for either IP on either interface. This is because in Linux the IP address belongs to the host and is not associated with the interface.

Do two host from the same subnet need a router in between to be able to communicate?

No. They don’ t need a router to communicate, since they are in the same subnet. But yes they have to be connected to the same switch for the communication between them to become possible.

Does each subnet need a router?

You don’t need a router. If you set the subnet mask on all of the PCs to be 255.255. 0.0, then they should all be able to ping each other. Basically, opening up the subnet mask puts all of the PCs on the same subnet, so a router isn’t needed.

How many hosts can be on the same subnet?

You need to create 5 sub networks each network has a maximum of 10 hosts. We can only use the first 8 bits for out subnets as these 8 bits have been allocated as host addresses. So Subnet masks of 255.255. 255.224 and 255.255.

How to connect two subnets to one router?

I am looking for a solution at the router. Goal: Let computers on .1. x subnet connect to the server 2.1 so they can view the monitoring software. Optional: Let all the .1. x network talk to the .2. x network, so I can also connect to individual cameras. Caveat: Cannot change the subnet mask on the main .1. x network.

Is it possible to have more than one subnet on a LAN?

However if they attempt to ping an IP on a different subnet, it won’t work unless the default gateway is setup on the router and some form of routing (static/dynamic) is setup on the router. Having more than one subnet on a LAN used to be more common than it is today. You can configure the router interface with a secondary* address.

Can a router have more than two secondary addresses?

For example, Cisco routers would not establish OSPF or EIGRP neighbor relationships on secondary addresses. *You can have more than just two subnets on a LAN. Cisco refers to them all as secondary addresses although they technically should be called tertiary, quartenary, etc. The subnet is used to determine what hosts are “assumed to be on link”.

Is the router port in the same switching group?

Think of it as a switch connected to a router port in a single case. When you connect devices to ports in the same switching group they belong to the same L2 segment and (usually) to the same L3 subnet. Different switching groups or separate (true) router ports mean separate L2 segments and accordingly, separate L3 subnets.
