Do you need a router for each subnet?

Do you need a router for each subnet?

So the answer is yes, you need a gateway for every subnet because a subnet is a network. A network doesn’t need a router, a device does. Each device is assigned a subnet mask. The device can reach anything on that subnet, but needs a router to get to anything off the subnet.

Do routers connect subnets?

Routers carry traffic from one network/subnet to another. Routers maintain a routing table to decide how to route the IP packets.

Can you ping different subnets?

You should be able to ping either IP on a separate ping operation, without issue, if your PC is aware of where those networks are. If the routes aren’t already there, you should be able to add them yourself.

Is it possible to have two routers on the same subnet?

to simply put it having two routers on the same subnet is not possible as the purpose of a router is to route traffic between DIFFERENT networks. In order to accomplish this you will need routers and switches that understand VLANs and VLAN tagging. Hope this Helps

Why do routers have only a few interfaces?

You forget that routers can have virtual interfaces. For example, you can create GigbitEthernet0/0.10. You can have many, many different VLANs, each with its own network, on virtual interfaces of a single physical interface. Routers only need to terminate the layer-2 LANs.

How to connect two routers using static routing?

Using static routing, you’ll simply add an entry in the routing table on the router A to tell “if I have a packet for network 192.168.2.0, I’ll send it to the router 192.168.2.1 using my interface xxx”. Don’t forget to also create a static route on the router B (if you don’t, the communication will be unidirectional).

Can you connect two routers to the Wan?

I got two routers, both are connecting to the wan (giving them different external IP). is there anyway to connect those, so a computer on 168.0.x can access the printer (and other service) on 168.2.x (and vice versa)
