Can you have 2 different 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 unmanaged switch support different subnets?

It may technically work, but it’s not a great idea. The two networks will share a single broadcast domain. In practice, this can cause very strange, hard to diagnose issues in some applications. It would be much better to get a second unmanaged switch or spring for a cheap managed switch.

Can multiple subnets be on same 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 do I ping between two subnets?

Instructions:

1. Click network diagram button and select device WS1 from network diagram.
2. Configure 192.168.10.1/24 as ip address and default-gateway as 192.168.1.1.
3. Select device WS2 from network diagram and configure ip address 192.168.
4. Ping WS1 from WS2 and you get ping failed message because both work stations are on.

Do switches create subnets?

Switches can carry as many subnets as you want them to because they don’t know, or care, about IP routing. It’s actually fairly common in small setups to have a router (“gateway”) with multiple IP addresses, one per subnet, on a single Ethernet port.

Can 2 subnets communicate?

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.

What is the difference between a subnet and a VLAN?

At a high level, subnets and VLANs are analogous in that they both deal with segmenting or partitioning a portion of the network. However, VLANs are data link layer (OSI layer 2) constructs, while subnets are network layer (OSI layer 3) IP constructs, and they address (no pun intended) different issues on a network.

Can 2 VLANs have the same gateway?

No, this would not work, each VLAN is a separate broadcast domain. Each VLAN has its own MAC address table which the switch uses to forward traffic at L2 between the ports that are in the same VLAN. Each VLAN also only contains the ports that are assigned to that VLAN.

Can subnets ping each other?

6 Replies. Can you ping devices in the same subnet? If you can ping in the same subnet but cannot ping the other subnet most likely no route to the other subnet.

Can two computers with different subnet masks communicate?

All the devices in the same subnet can communicate directly with one another without going through any routers. 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. 101.15 and my subnet mask is 255.255.

What is difference between VLAN and subnet?

VLAN vs Subnet: What’s the Difference? VLAN is a logical LAN that contains broadcasts within itself, and only hosts belonged to that VLAN will see those broadcasts. Subnet is an IP address range of IP addresses that help hosts communicate over layer 3. VLAN allows us to create different logical and physical networks.

What happens when ARP request comes from different IP subnet?

The topology above have a port “Intf1” on router “router1” connected a port “Intf2” on another router “router2” via a direct link (eg, a 1 Gbps cable). ARP only works between devices in the same IP subnet.

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.

Can two separate LANs share an unmanaged switch?

The two networks will share a single broadcast domain. In practice, this can cause very strange, hard to diagnose issues in some applications. It would be much better to get a second unmanaged switch or spring for a cheap managed switch. At an ethernet level if you use one unmanaged switch you will only have one network.

Do you need router to communicate between subnets?

But not always. And you have created an exception to that normal expectation. When we think about a subnet corresponding to a broadcast domain then it is true that to communicate between subnets (between broadcast domains) you must have a router or other layer 3 device to route between subnets.
