IP Multinetting
You can set up a configuration of multiple subnets, and IP interfaces on a
single VLAN. This is also referred to as IP Multinetting. A network is said
to be multinetted when multiple logical groups of computers are brought
together within a single broadcast domain. In the example (
Figure 12-5 ),
two separate networks are brought together in VLAN-A allowing
computing resources on network 192.168.10.x to communicate with
computing resources on network 192.168.60.x without having to go through
a router. To create a multinetted network, you must assign multiple subnets
to a VLAN.
* Note: Only one subnet can be BootP/DHCP Gateway. The second
subnet must use Static IP addresses.
