Local IPs and Subnets
Hi all, I have three servers. Each server has two NICs. One NIC on each server (fxp0) will be used for the Internet, and I have a seperate switch and the IPs Subnets etc from the ISP so all is well. The other NIC on each machine will be used to connect to a seperate switch to LAN them together. (fxp1). I am still baffled by calculating subnets. My question is simple. What subnet and broadcast IP should I use when I set the IP on each NIC to 192.168.0.1 , 2 , 3 ? -Grant To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

That's a matter of choice for a private network, but the 192.168.x.y address range is usually treated as /24 networks --- it is in what used to be the old C class part of the IP space before CIDR became de-rigeur. So: Network number: 192.168.0.0 Netmask: 255.255.255.0 or 0xff00 or /24 Broadcast: 192.168.0.255 Which gives you a total of 254 address from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.253 to use for your hosts.
