Can I connect multiple routers to a switch?
You can use the Routers to manage the clients in two subnets and configure the routers separately. For example, you can use one router to configure a Wireless network and the other to configure a LAN network.
Which router is elected as the DR?
Routers R1 and R2 have been elected as DR and BDR because they have the highest and the second highest router ID (100.0. 0.0 and 90.0.
What is DR and BDR election process?
OSPF uses a DR (Designated Router) and BDR (Backup Designated Router) on each multi-access network. You change the priority if you like by using the ip ospf priority command: The default priority is 1. A priority of 0 means you will never be elected as DR or BDR.
How do routers and switches work together?
- A router works by connecting a network to another network via a modem.
- While a network switch can connect multiple devices and networks to expand the LAN, a router will allow you to share a single IP address among multiple network devices.
How many switches can you connect to a router?
Theoretically, the number of network switches that can be connected to a router is infinite. A process known as daisy-chaining allows you to connect as many switches together as you wish, however, this is not recommended as it does come with the risk of creating a loop if they are not connected correctly.
How are two routers connected to one switch?
Now you have one PC connected to port 10 and one PC connected to port 20. You also have 2 links (ports 23 and 24) port 23 connectes to router-1 and port 24 connects to router-2. You also add port 23 to vlan 100 and port 24 to vlan 200. Now on each interface on the router connected to each port configure one subnet.
Can a switch connect two different subnets at the same time?
ONLY ROUTERS CONNECT TWO DIFFERENT SUBNETS, SWITCHES DON’T. So, if two subnets are both connected to a router, they do share the same gateway, which happens to be the router. That’s how they go out. Simple as that. Unify your data with Segment.
What happens if devices are connected to the same switch but are in?
A knows that to communicate with any system outside its network it needs to send the data packet to some router (and not switch). So it will perform ARP and get MAC of router. But if it is not connected to any router (gateway) then nothing would be done here. So a router is needed to connect different subnet masks to make communication to happen.
Can a gateway be connected to the same switch?
A gateway is LAN device’s way out of its local network. If two subnets or vlans are connected to the same switch, they most definitely can share the same physical exit (router interface) out of the network but because a gateway is defined by its IP address making it unique to a subnet, both subnets can not have the share the same gateway.
