Hello, And you haven't read the subject did you? Instead of 2 hubs, he wants to use 1 hub and seperate both networks via subnets.. :) PS: In fact, even 255.255.254.0 is okay for every machine to see the other 3 :P Have a nice day. -- İzzet "SubZero" BEŞKARDEŞ Server Administrator of ns.exe.com.tr Field Application Engineer of EGEMEN Computer -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Patrick Campbell Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 9:17 PM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: RE: two subnets thru same wire For the $5 it costs to buy a cheapo 6 port switch, I'd go buy one just to make things nicer. Your subnet mask will need to be 255.255.0.0. -- Patrick Campbell OurVacationStore.com Website Administrator Tel. 602.896.4729 -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sub Zero Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 12:06 PM To: 'General Red Hat Linux discussion list' Subject: RE: two subnets thru same wire Hello, A1: Yes A2: Yes A3: No A4: It just will slow your maximum throughput.. ;) Have a nice day. -- İzzet "SubZero" BEŞKARDEŞ Server Administrator of ns.exe.com.tr Field Application Engineer of EGEMEN Computer -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shiraz Baig Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 6:34 AM To: redhat Subject: two subnets thru same wire My question realtes the fact, whether we can have two subnets passing thru same wire and communicating with each other. The two subnets are: ----------------- | Hub | ----------------- | | | | ----------------- | | --------------- | ------- ------- | 192.168.10.3 | | 192.168.11.5 A 192.168.11.3 192.168.10.5 D B C It is a six port Hub. Four hosts with IP addresses given above are attached to the hub. There are two subnets 192.168.10.0 and 192.168.11.0. The netmask is 255.255.255.0 in all cases. Q1: Will Host A be able to talk to Host C? Q2: Will Host B be able to talk to Host D? Q3: If the communication is possible, are there likely to be any problems? Q4. If instead of switch, we use hub, will it make any difference? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
