Can you have multiple subnets on the same switch?
You can use the same switch for multiple subnets, but you need to you VLAN’s that is what they are there for, unless you switch won’t support VLAN’s. First time your switch gets a MAC address back that has an IP addresses in more than one subnet it’s gonna freak out.
Can you have multiple subnets in one VLAN?
No, VLANs don’t require different subnets. Different subnets require different subnet addresses if they ever need to be able to route and/or talk to each other) and by extension if one VLAN wants to talk to a different VLAN it must use different addresses so we can make a routing decision to the right place.
How to connect two switches, two subnets?
We have two separate groups (Group A & B) with identical Cisco 1942 routers and Cisco 2960 switches, HP Juno’s, and Palo Alto Firewalls. Through the interconnected hubs they are able to communicate with each other, and you can ping across subnets like you mentioned before you could do.
Can a subnet be connected to multiple VLANs?
You could use one subnet per VLAN to create multiple broadcast domain for multiple ip ranges. And if you want to communication between those virtually separated vlans (ip address ranges) within a switch, use Router on stick and configue trunck to interface which is connected between Router n switch.
Which is the best example of IP subnetting?
CIDR (Classless Inter Domain Routing) is the term that is used for using IP addresses independent from their traditional IP Classes. In other words, CIDR is using IP addresses without classes. VLSM (Variable Lenght Subnet Mask) is the term that is used for using different Subnet Mask for different sun networks.
Can a switch communicate with a subnet mask?
As I pointed out in my first post, the subnet mask for switch B is definitely not right. However, you can communicate between subnets with different subnet masks. You just have to have a router with network interfaces on each of those subnets to handle the traffic.
