172.16.35.20 255.255.192.0

172.16.40.25 255.255.224.0

PC1 having 172.16.35.0/18

PC2 having 172.16.40.0/19

both PCs connected on same switch. Please tell me how its working?

Thanks in Advance

Hi

Both the subnets fall under the supernet segment of 172.16.0.0/18 , so PC1 would broadcast and find out the mac-address and communicate .

When PC2 wants to communicate , ip segment falls in 172.16.32.0/19 segment , here again both the ips fall under the supernet , so it would do a broadcast and would communicate.

Hope this helps.
