Hosts on different networks communicate using a layer-3 address (layer 3 in the OSI reference model). In the networks used today, that would normally be an IP address.

Does the Cisco IOS IP address assignment option of secondary address allow the network interface to communicate to hosts in different IP sub nets?

Yes Cisco IOS IP address has a secondary address that allows the network interface to communicate to hosts in different IP sub nets. It allows you to have unlimited number of secondary addresses.

The default gateway is configured incorrectly on the host what is the impact on communications?

You can communicate only with hosts on your own physical network and with hosts on networks for which an explicit route exists, but not with hosts which are beyond the gateway and where no explicit route exists. Or, you can reach local machines but you can't reach Internet machines.


Is network and IP address the same?

its different......basically.network contain hosts can be server or workstation each has unique adddress (thats ip address) to communicate each other


Best definition for the network term MAC address?

The MAC address is the serial number of the network card (NIC). It is used in network communication (for example, in Ethernet networks) as a unique identifier for every computer (and other hosts).The MAC address is the serial number of the network card (NIC).

Depending on the subnet masks, these hosts may or may not be able to directly communicate.


What is the correct subnet mask to use for a class-B address to support 30 networks and also have the most hosts possible?

This question is unanswered.


Which network service allows internal addresses to be hidden from outside networks and allows several internal hosts to use the same external address?

NAT (Network Address Translation) offers this service.


Why does each connection between routers count as a separate subnet if there are no hosts connected?

That is the way networks are set up. The whole idea of using a router is to separate and connect different networks or subnets. Note that a "host" is any point that has an IP address; so the router interface (or port) is also a host.


How many network routers are working in the world?

The number of routers in a network depends on some factors like number of hosts in the network,number of networks required e.t.c. but when it comes to the question, the question itself is meaningless bcaz a router is a device which connects two different networks. for example there r 2 systems namely host A with an ip address of 192.168.1.6 and host B with an ip address of 192.168.2.8 with the above configuration host A cannot communicate with host B bcaz they both belong to 2 separate networks. but if both their networks are connected using a router they both can communicate with each other.
