junkieXL Posted October 15, 2005 CID Share Posted October 15, 2005 You can make over 200 subnets (may be wrong on the #) on any LAN simply using low-cost hubs or switches. The gateway will remain the same as it is on the LAN; your existing firewall is all you need, assuming DHCP is being used. let me know ok -JxL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALONZOAMORGAN Posted October 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 15, 2005 What i'm saying is two subnets and the pc as the deafault gateway instead of a router???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted October 15, 2005 CID Share Posted October 15, 2005 Never use Hubs. You will need 2 NICS and routing software, perhaps even setting up a Linux machine as your routing computer. You cannot create subnets with just a switch, you must have something acting as a router to seperate broadcast domains.(subnets) The number of subnets you want depends on what class of IP you run.
