Industry Information 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
Industry Information I have a Access point connected to a Layer 3 switch which is on a static ip of 192.168.0.X and i have a pc who is also connected to same layer switch which i plan to have set to a static ip of
Industry Information Would the broadcast traffic be restricted to a single subnet, or would both subnets recieve the broadcast traffic (e.g., one broadcast domain or two)? All hosts would see all broadcast traffic.
Industry Information Two hosts, each configured with a single IP address assigned, and each in different subnets, will not make ARP requests for the other''s IP address.
Industry Information I have two physical locations - call them Local and Remote. Each location has three subnets in use. In the past, the two locations were connected by MPLS and Cisco routers routed the
Industry Information You can have multiple networks on the same shared L2, depending on how hosts are configured, they will either ARP for an IP, that''s not on their network, or send packets to a gateway
Industry Information You need a router to route traffic across the subnets/vlans. If those 3COM switches are true Layer 3 devices, then they can do the routing (and you should see that capability in their web
Industry Information When planning an enterprise access network, one of the most common dilemmas is whether to deploy Layer 2 (L2) or Layer 3 (L3) switches. The access layer plays a critical role in
Industry Information It is required that users access the Internet through the Layer 2 switch and router and that the router function as the gateway of users. Figure 1-3 Configuring a Layer 2 switch to work with a router for
Industry Information Access router on a different subnet, how? Hello. I recently bought an Edgerouter X ro replace my home router so I can have multiple subnets. Not really using VLAN, but I wanted a subnet for my kids
Industry Information Each access layer switch is dual attached to to each distro. Distro is inter-connected via Layer 2 and each distro is layer3 connected to the core. Why do you not want a layer 2 trunk
Industry Information Well you can"t have them on a layer 2 switch, no. A switch is basically transparent to the network and having hosts there on different subnets wouldn''t
Industry Information Learn how to create multiple subnets to improve network security, isolate devices, and manage traffic in your home or small office network.
Industry Information In this article, we will explore the differences between Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches, when to use a Layer 2 versus a Layer 3 switch, and use cases for both switch types.
Industry Information I don''t plan to implement this setup, but I am curious about it. The 50.2 computer may send a packet to the x.2 computer, but it will use 50.1 as the router, since 50.2 knows that the subnet is different.
Industry Information I''m currently trying around with sub netting and I found out that two devices attached to a layer 2 switch can talk to each other although they have different subnets!
Industry Information It is perfectly possible -- and not terribly uncommon -- to run two separate layer 3 (i.e, "IP") networks over one layer 2 (i.e, "Ethernet") network. A common use case for this is in environments that allow
Industry Information If you were subnetting your whole network, I''d say stick with the L3 switch (assuming it''s a business switch, not consumer garbage). But since it''s just for a lab, you could really go either way.
Industry Information Is it possible to have multiple subnets sharing a single switch (without VLANs or routers)? If so, what would happen? Would the broadcast traffic be restricted to a single subnet, or would both
Industry Information When to use Layer 2 Switch Use Layer 2 switches for segmenting your Ethernet network into smaller collision domains to improve network performance. Layer 2 switches are generally used
Industry Information I''m just practicing VLANs. I created two subnets in VLAN1. And while trying to enable communication between the devices in both subnets, i configured
Industry Information A Layer 2 switch is a network device that operates at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model. Learn their technical details, functions, and importance.
