CAN networks with different subnet masks communicate?
All IP’s in the same network IP/mask can talk to each other directly, if the network portion does not match the Gateway is used to router the packets.
Can 2 subnets have same IP address?
On a fundamental level, subnets are there to separate broadcast domains and improve efficiency. They’re not for sharing IP addresses. As an answer to your question above, the answer is: No you can’t… It is the address itself that must be unique.
How do subnets talk to each other?
Devices in different subnets can communicate. That is the purpose of a router. Routers route packets between different networks. Even if devices in different networks are on the same layer-2 broadcast domain, you need a router to let the devices communicate at layer-3.
Can you have two routers using the same subnet mask?
I thought subnet mask was just telling router the data does not belong on its network but other network.So the first router would say no its not on my connecting computes but on the second router. And also you cannot have two computers using the same IP address but with subnet mask you can.That how I thought how it worked.
How are IP addresses and subnet masks organized?
A subnet mask is used to divide an IP address into two parts. One part identifies the host (computer), the other part identifies the network to which it belongs. To better understand how IP addresses and subnet masks work, look at an IP address and see how it’s organized. IP addresses: Networks and hosts
Do you need the same mask for A and B?
Now to assist in allowing B to be configured while attached this way, it needs an IP address on the same subnet as A and A needs to never allow DHCP to handout B’s IP address. Yes, you need the same MASK – – but there are bigger issues than the mask itself..
How many hosts are in a subnet mask 255 255 255 192?
The subnet mask 255.255.255.192 gives you four networks of 62 hosts each. It works because in binary notation, 255.255.255.192 is the same as 1111111.11111111.1111111.11000000. The first two digits of the last octet become network addresses, so you get the additional networks 00000000 (0), 01000000 (64), 10000000 (128) and 11000000 (192).
