Comment on Basic networking/subnetting question.
marauding_gibberish142@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoThanks but as I mentioned that will not scale. I’m interested in if separating computers by subnets will work. Have you tried something like this?

It’s been a long time since I actually used subnets, but IIRC you will need a physical interface for each network on the router regardless.
So let’s say you set up your /24 network into 2x /25’s, you will need an interface for the .0 network, and another for the .128 network
If you just have an interface for the switch, and another for the WAN connection, I don’t think subletting will work for what you’re trying to do

Hmm, so virtual interfaces on the router won’t work? I admit I’m a bit stumped, would you be able to give me an ELI5 on why this is the case? I will try and read up more, of course
