Hi all!!
I am a fresh college graduate.
While I was reading Cisco book at the school computer lab today, I was
curious about some network concept.
Could somebody clarify this?
Here it is.
This computer lab is set up with window NT workstations.
I was wondering what the ip address of each workstations will be. So, I
checked ip addresses of each stations by going around each stations by
typing �ipconfig-- at command prompt.
So, I was able to figure out those machines� ip addresses.
When I was doing this, I also found that the ip address of the computer
sitting right behind my original station had different subnet ip address
from my original station� s subnet ip address.
The station behind my station: 130.222.235.90/24
My station: 130.222.224.40/24
I know that it is DHCP server that assigns the different ip addresses to
clients. However,
these two machines are sitting on same computer lab, but each one belongs to
different subnet. And all these computers are connected to a switch.
Is it VLAN concept that makes it possible?
Would this be also possible without the VLAN configuration on the switch?
I was wondering if two machines could sit next to each other having
different subnet ip addresses.
The guy in charge of the computer lab didn�t seem to be familiar with
configuring VLAN on his switch.
As far as I know, the station behind me can�t send any data to my station or
the other way around without the external router intervention if they belong
to different VLANs. I hadn�t checked if my station could talk to the station
behind me because I didn�t know how to do it.
Could someone clarify this?
I will appreciate your help
Thanks in advance.
