Networking - Subnetting - Discussion
Discussion Forum : Subnetting - Subnetting (Q.No. 3)
3.
A network administrator is connecting hosts A and B directly through their Ethernet interfaces, as shown in the illustration. Ping attempts between the hosts are unsuccessful. What can be
done to provide connectivity between the hosts?
- A crossover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.
- A rollover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.
- The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.192.
- A default gateway needs to be set on each host.
- The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.0.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
First, if you have two hosts directly connected, as shown in the graphic, then you need
a crossover cable. A straight-through cable won't work. Second, the hosts have different
masks, which puts them in different subnets. The easy solution is just to set both masks to
255.255.255.0 (/24).

Please give a little explanation about crossover cable theory.

D answer is perfect. You check again. It is a private IP address.

Suppose a company ABC wants to develop two LANs for its different departments in the same building. For LAN network the main factors to consider are reliability, security, and speed. The company has also no cost constraints for the development of LANs.
After LAN development, this company also needs to connect these two LANs with each other and with its remote offices located in different cities.
1. Identify the suitable medium that will fulfill the requirements of the company in order to develop LANs.
2. Which type of address will be associated when data will travel from one user to another user within same LAN?
VLAN. if two people attempt to send information at the same time,
3. If the user of one LAN wants to communicate, with a remote user located in another city network then which type of address will be used?
4. Which type of networking device will be used to transfer data from one of the LANs to a remote user located in the network of another city?
Please tell me the solution.

In this mask, Only 14 host address will be used.
20 comes between 16 to 31.
But 201 is not between 16 to 31.
So it is another subnet. Hence communication is possible. And cause of cable as will.

It was kind of confusing. But crossover cable should be used and IP add should be in a class C. There won't be any problem.

If 255.255.255.240 is used how they are on different networks. Someone show me how( 255.255.255.0) works?

If someone could find the subnet of these addresses using /24 CIDR.

Ip address 192.168.1.20 it is class C network.
Class C Network occupies 24 networks bits & 8 hosts bits
So network bits full 1's.
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
255 . 255 . 255 . 0

255 . 255 . 255 . 0

They are in different networks, always make bitwise AND operation to find if the computers in the same network. One of them belong to 192.168.1.16 and the other one in 192.168.1.192.
Never forget computers think in binary.
