Hi, I have a doubt on the utility of the private IP address range 172.16/16 to 172.31/16, 192.168.0/24 to 192.168.255/16 etc.
AFAIK, these IP addresses are given to the sys admins to assign inside their AS and these must be not advertised to the world outside. For communication with the outside world we must use some well defined unique IP address. Is that so? This leads to a doubt .. If i have a switch with say, two routers in it having private IP addresses assigned as 172.31.1.1 and 172.31.1.2. I can then not have these IP addresses outside in my network. Right? regards, mareline s. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo! Greetings! http://greetings.yahoo.com
