Ip address scheme

[kaci]

For you to see your local router (10.10.90.250), do you need to have the same ip address scheme (10.10.90.x)?
How do you access the local router if you use something like 10.10.80.x? Thank you.

You need to know subnet mask to answer that question. Default for 10.X.X.X is class C or 255.0.0.0.

Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0

10.x.x.x with 255.0.0.0 is a class A network not a c like I stated. You have a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask which makes it a class c network. With this scenario, all the hosts on your network need to be 10.10.90.X with X being different fron 1 to 254. The subnet mask determines what is the network portion of your IP address and what is the host portion.

The only way for you to have 10.10.80.X would be to have a second network interface in your server, and then the router would have to be programmed how to get to the 10.10.80 network.
