Your subnet math is correct, but as good practice, you want to NOT use the low and high networks (.0 and .193). The reason being is that those networks contain the network name for 192.168.10 and the broadcast number for that network. You CAN do it, but even Cisco recommends avoiding it when possible. But you are right on the money w/ the masks. Good Luck! --Brian -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Bill Drescher Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2002 5:54 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: help with subnetting I have two LANS at different locations. LAN A has IP numbers in the range of 192.168.10.1-20 LAN B has IP numbers in the range of 192.168.10.99-120 I want to connect them using a VPN, but that requires that they be on separate subnets. I figure I can use for LAN A: 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.192 and for LAN B: 192.168.10.64 netmask 255.255.255.192 BUT, being a neophyte at network topology, I would like someone who knows more than I to confirm or to show me the errors of my ways. I don't want to put these into the routers (Netgear FVS 318) and lock myself out (again !)
