Example: Network Divided into Two Subnets
The new network configuration dividing Network 2 into Subnets 2.1 and 2.2 is shown below.
Here, a second network with Hosts D and E has been added. Gateway G2 connects Subnet 2.1 with Subnet 2.2.
Hosts D and E will use Gateway G2 to communicate with hosts not on Network 2.2.
Hosts B and C will use Gateways G1 and G2 to communicate with hosts not on Network 2.1. When B is
communicating with D, G2 (the configured Gateway for B) will route the data from B to D through Gateway G2.
Host A will use Gateway G1 to communicate with hosts not on Network 1.
