As I am confused with so many RFCs, I'll appreciate it if somebody could help me. I have a router with 3 WAN ports which I want to connect to 4 different networks. I am using the 4-th port as a connection to my provider. Can I place all 3 ports on the same subnet, created for the WANs only as a part of my class C address? E.G. WAN My site Remote site 1 x.x.x.1 x.x.x.2 2 x.x.x.3 x.x.x.4 3 x.x.x.5 x.x.x.6 Or, is it better to force the remote side subnetting and use 3 different networks IPs?
