Greetings
(My head is swimming with all the explanations on IP routing - - - have spent about 3 hours now looking at various documents - - - - I just can't find a clear answer. The first statement is my present network - - - I'm trying to figure out how to move beyond the access of only 254 devices at one time. Please - - - this is not my business - - - - I'm just using a highly connected system design idea in the planning and trying to figure out how to get what I would like - - - done. )
If I set up a router using the 192.168.1.1 I can access some 254 distinct IP addresses from my router.
If I set up a router using the 176.10.1.1 how many distinct IP addresses can I access?
(I'm thinking some 64k worth but dunno!)
You can access as many addresses as you want from your router. The address block is determined by the subnet mask. Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network You will want to avoid 176, instead look at the 172.16. range or the entire 192.168.x.x range ( subnet mask will be 255.255.0.0) Hope that helps Dhaval
