Can you have two subnets on the same router?
1) It is possible to have multiple subnets “behind” one router; the Internet would be a very broken place with millions more routers needed if it were not. However, your example of using a /16 subnet mask on the LAN interface, with many /24’s connecting to it, is not exactly how it would actually function.
Can different subnets use the same gateway?
No, you cannot. The gateway IP tells the system how to get to another subnet, and without it, packets won’t leave the current subnet. A computer only knows how to talk to the other computers that are directly connected on the same subnet.
How do you connect two subnets?
Computers located on different subnets may need to communicate directly with one another….How to Connect Computers That Are on 2 Different Subnets
- Connect the computers to the network.
- Connect the routers to each other.
- Enable a routing protocol in each subnet’s router.
- Allow time for the routing tables to update.
How do you bridge two subnets?
Connect the “LAN” port to the “network 1” network and give it a static IP address in the “network 1” subnet. Disable any DHCP server on the router. Connect the router’s “Internet” port to the “network 2” network and give it a static IP address in the “network 2” subnet.
Can a router have two subnets at the same time?
You should have the two subnets in different VLANs, but it sounds like they’re in the same VLAN/LAN. If you can’t physically separate the devices (put them on another LAN), you should virtually separate them by configuring VLANs on your switch.
Is there a subnet for each VLAN?
Each VLAN will have a separate subnet back on our router. Each subnet would terminate on its own “sub interface”, a logical partitioning of the physical connection to the access switches.
Is there usecase to have multiple subnets behind a router?
I believe it is, e.g. router LAN interface would have subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and machines connecting to the router would have subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Is there a usecase to have multiple subnets behind a router?
Do you have multiple interfaces on a router?
Verify your account to enable IT peers to see that you are a professional. Do you have multiple interfaces on the router so you could create another address of say 192.168.2.1? Then you could route between the two networks. Other option would be to get a L3 switch and create a VLAN for each network and then handle the routing on the switch.
