If your topology looks like the picture below should you configure a new network address for the slip connections or use the same address as exist on the local net? host A host B (128.11.0.1) | | | | local net | | slip conn | | local net 192.11.0.1 | |---------------------| What should the ip numbers be for the slip interfaces on these two hosts? Should slip connections have there own slip network number assigned? Can you just assign different host numbers for each, keeping the net numbers the same? If the network numbers for each of the 2 hosts were of a different class would they be able to communicate? I guess I could set this up and just try it but I just know someone out there is a slip expert and knows the answers.
