IP Multinetting

You can configure multiple subnets and IP interfaces on a single VLAN. This configuration is called IP Multinetting. A network is said to be multinetted when multiple logical groups of computers are brought together within a single broadcast domain. In Figure�96, two separate networks are brought together in VLAN-A allowing computing resources on network 192.168.10.x to communicate with computing resources on network 192.168.60.x without having to go through a router. To create a multinetted network, you must assign multiple subnets to a VLAN.

Note: Only one subnet can be BootP/DHCP Gateway. The second subnet must use Static IP addresses.
