I freely recognize that vBulletin reformats text, & this makes creating diagrams challenging. However, showing
how all devices interconnect only takes patience & repeatedly pressing
"Preview Post" using a
[code] block. Your diagram can be vastly improved as follows:
Code:
router (192.168.1.1/24) ------ (bce0) Acer Aspire
| 192.168.1.2/24
|
(gem0) iBook
192.168.1.3/24
Here, it is more clear that packets travel from your iBook's
gem0 interface to your Acer's
bce0 interface through some consumer router device.
- Don't use arrowheads since communication should be bi-directional (full-duplex).
- If you are unfamiliar with CIDR notation (ie. 192.168.1.2/24), it simplifies how to specify the network mask. Numerous explanations can be found throughout the Internet. eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cidr
