Can you have multiple subnets on the same LAN?

*You can have more than just two subnets on a LAN. Cisco refers to them all as secondary addresses although they technically should be called tertiary, quartenary, etc.

Can we assign multiple ips to a single computer?

By default, each network interface card (NIC) has its own unique IP address. However, you can assign multiple IP addresses to a single NIC.

How many IP addresses does a LAN have?

There are different classes of networks that determine the size and total possible unique IP addresses of any given LAN. For example, a class A LAN can have over 16 million unique IP addresses. A class B LAN can have over 65,000 unique IP addresses.

Can you have two different IP addresses?

Yes, one device can have multiple IP addresses. You likely already have at least one device doing that aready – your home router. The usual reason for a device to have more than one IP address is that it is present on more than one seperate subnet, or network.

Can different subnets talk to each other?

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.

How can I configure two IP address in one LAN card?

Click on “Advanced” near the bottom of the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties” window. Click on “Add” under the IP addresses section at the top of the window. Enter an IP address and subnet mask that is on the secondary network you wish to communicate with. Click “add” on the “TCP/IP Address” window.

How do I change my LAN IP address?

Click Start, point to Control Panel, and click Network Connections. Right-click the local area connection that you want to modify and then click Properties. In the This connection uses the following items box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.

What are the different classes of IP addresses?

Following are the different classes of IP address: This Class IP address always has its first bit as 0, next 7 bits as a network address and following 24 bits as the host address. The range of IP addresses is 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255. This means that it allows 2^7 networks and 2^24 hosts per network.

What are the different IP ranges available?

There are five classes of available IP ranges namely: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D, and Class E. Class A, B, and C are commonly used. Supports 16 million hosts on each of 127 networks. Supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks. Supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks.

What is the range of a Class B IP address?

Class B Class B IP address always has its first bits as 10, next 14 bits as a network address and following 16 bits as the host address. The range of IP addresses is 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255. This means that it allows 2^14 networks and 2^16 hosts per network.

How to set up multiple Lans on a single router?

Start Free. When we understand how traffic flows through networks, we can dive into the two main ways to set up multiple LANs on a single router: subnets and virtual local area networks (VLANs). Subnets are the logical groups of addresses that we use to separate networks.
