2 different networks ??? Actually network 1 would encompass network 2. Host A would thinks Host B is on the same segment as Host A is.
If Host A and Host B were separated by a router, Host A would not be able to talk to Host B (not counting the fact that the 2 hosts have the same IP address). The address range of Network 1 is 172.16.0.1 to 172.16.255.254. The address range of network 2 is 172.16.2.1-172.16.2.254. This is not a valid network configuration. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 14, 2001 1:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Mask in L3 Packet [7:29182] Say I have 2 networks: Network 1. 172.16.x.x/16 and Network 2. 172.16.2.x/24 We all agree that they are two different networks, right? Now if Host A on Network 1 is 172.16.2.1/16 and Host B is on Network 2 is 172.16.2.1/24, How does the host know that the second host is on a different network? Are they differnt addresses because of the mask, or are they considered the same address regardless of mask, and therefore illegal? I understand ANDing on the local host. It's just if 2 hosts had the same numbers, only marked differently by the mask, are they the same or not?
