Re: Router with 2 (or more) interfaces in same network

I think it will if you specify a netmask, otherwise it uses, wrongly in my view, an old style classless netmask based on the old class A B and C rules.

On a side issue then.. : Why do so many vendors automatically generate a classful netmask? Surely the correct practice is to force the input of a mask as there is these days (cidr) no system to state what your netmask is.. even a /24 would be better than typing in 10.3.2.1 and getting a /8 </rant> Steve
