I have this simple question and really don't know the answer. Does the drawing below show one network or two networks? This is a question about the definition of a network from the OSI / TCP/IP model point of view:
- From one point of view, those are two L2 networks connected with a bridge.
- From another point of view, this is one L3 network, that can have a common L3 address space (like 10.1.1.0).
PS
If this question is too dumb, please move it to Superuser.
