Can two hosts different subnets communicate without router?
All the devices in the same subnet can communicate directly with one another without going through any routers. That router also needs to be on my subnet. My computer knows that another device is in my subnet by looking at my own IP address and my subnet mask. Suppose my IP address is 192.168.
How can I tell if two networks are connected to the same network?
You can use the ping command to verify the connectivity between two network devices that are IP (Internet Protocol) based. To ping another network device using a computer running Windows, complete the following: To bring up the run dialog, press the Windows key + R. Type cmd and press Enter.
Why are two hosts in the same subnet connected?
It is possible that your computer might have a route entry that sends a packet which matches no other specific route entry to your router. This is also called as the default gateway. Conventionally the computers in the same subnet are connected directly and most of the times, do not go through the gateway.
When to use a subnet in a network?
The subnet is used to determine what hosts are “assumed to be on link”. If a host wants to communicate with a host outside it’s subnet then (assuming there is nothing special in the host’s routing table) it will try and send the packet to it’s default gateway.
Can you have two interfaces on the same subnet?
So while you can’t have two interfaces with the same address (overlapping subnets), you can have one interface in two subnets using a Cisco router feature called secondary IP addressing which Odom says isn’t used very much. It’s easy to do and he includes a couple of labs in the network simulator:
Is there a way to have two subnets in one VLAN?
There’s not a way to have two different subnets in a single vlan without routing some way for it. You can do the /22 as you stated, or you can put a secondary ip address on the vlan interface: A vlan is a logically segmented network, so when you have an ip address on the svi, that’s the subnet that svi will support.
