Can a network have multiple IP addresses?
By default, each network interface card (NIC) has its own unique IP address. However, you can assign multiple IP addresses to a single NIC.
How do I connect multiple subnets?
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 fix a subnet mask?
On the router’s web admin interface, look for an advanced settings category called LAN. In it, go to the LAN IP settings section or tab, and change the value of the Subnet Mask with the one you want. Click or tap on Apply, Save, or OK.
How are two IP addresses in the same subnet?
It means when two IP addresses have a subnet mask such that the addresses share the same network address and broadcast address. For example: 192.168.0.1/24 and 192.168.0.254/24 are in the same subnet because of the /24 subnet mask
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.
Are there different IP addresses with same mask?
Specifically are same IP addresses with different masks LAN:192.168.1.1/24 and WAN:192.168.1.1/26 problematic from routing and NAT point of view and why? Are different IP addresses with same mask LAN:192.168.1.1/24 and WAN:192.168.2.1/24 problematic and why?
Are there any networks that have the same mask?
Lots of networks have the same mask, and it’s not a problem. At the time of this writing, there are 260,864 /24 networks in the global BGP table. The only reason why your specific example could be problematic is because it’s shared RFC 1918 address space.
