Who dat daemon?

Wow, what a nice quality thread you have here. Retard.

NOT SO FAST!!

haha

HK47, is that you? What did these meatbags do to you?

*crawls away*

Oh yes.

Are IP addresses basically arbitrary?

Suppose I have a logical network with 3 routers; I use a subnet mask of /29, which leaves me with 3 host bits for a total of 6 (8 minus network/broadcast) addresses. Well that's all well and good, but what, exactly, determines the network portion of my address to begin with?

I know in the above example I've got 3 network octets and 1 host octet broken up into 5 subnet bits and 3 host bits. What I don't understand is how the initial IP address is determined - Is it just arbitrarily determined somewhere (how?) that my network octets are 192.168.1? Can I start with 11.27.0 if I wanted?

It just seems like every tutorial I look at completely ignores this issue and just assumes you'll be automagically given a valid default IP address to subnet, with nobody saying how you get/determine that default IP address in the first place.

If those antennas aren't directional, won't that many just be causing extra interference?

You'd use an address like 11.27.0.0/29. If your router/modem doesn't have that option try seeing if it has telnet or a cli.

You shouldn't be using public allocations for your internal network though
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (65,536 IP addresses)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (1,048,576 IP addresses)
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (16,777,216 IP addresses)

Stick to these

Okay, so Router 3, in the middle, connects to both Router 1 and Router 2 via two different interfaces.

Router 3
Interface 0/0 has an IP address of 192.168.0.1 /29
Interface 0/1 has an IP address of 192.168.1.1 /29

This works, but why doesn't
Interface 0/0 has an IP address of 192.168.0.1 /29
Interface 0/1 has an IP address of 192.168.0.2 /29 work?

Because 192.168.0.1/29 is in the same range as 192.168.0.2/29

0/0 with 192.168.0.1/29 and 0/1 with 192.168.0.8/29 is more logical.

Or 0/0 with 192.168.0.1/30 and 0/1 with 192.168.0.4/30

I'm not sure if it would work either since the Subnet ID is the same for both.

*teleports behind you*

Isn't D-Link exiting the high-end consumer wireless router space?

Look you fuckin FAGGOTs this is a GOOD router and You Must RESPECT that it is a good VALUE and has great GAMING POTENTIAL.

All I see on here are memes about these ALL FUCKING DAY but I put it in my basement and I never have to tell that it is a RICER DEVICER.

When did Sup Forums become form over function?!

>Sup Forums

>is in the same range

I'm not following - why wouldn't it be okay for it to be in the same IP range?

I thought this would allow 6 host addresses, from .1 to .7; why can a host downlink from the router have 192.168.0.2 /29 as a valid IP address, but another interface on that router cannot?

I guess I need to look up how you build networks in general or something. I'm missing something pretty basic and critical here.

They can't share the same IP if they're on the same network. I don't really know what you're trying to do.

*crawls up your leg*

...and then what?
(｡>﹏

>what's the matter big boy, never got your dick sucked by a router before?

No, but mine is very warm.

...

If router2 is setting the IPs then 192.168.0.1 is the gateway so router1's actual IP would be 192.168.0.2.

If router2 is getting the IPs then 192.168.0.1 is the gateway for the second interface and 192.168.0.2 is using the same Subnet ID as the 2nd interface so it's attempting to connect router2 to router1 via router0.

im assuming youre talking about your private addresses...
you can assign any address you want.
you do not even need to stick with rfc1918.

the addresses arent "given" like you say. you select them.
most companies will just use a 10.0.0.0/8 and break it down into hundreds of smaller networks based on their needs.

yup
