IP configuration question

[alvine]

Hi guys I'm going over my notes and I can't find a question to this answer

A router has two network interfaces, each connected to a different subnet. When configuring the default gateway value on a host, which IP address would you use?

could someone explain this

Thanks

the gateway would be the routers LAN ip, if im reading it correctly, the tricky word to me is host

 

[riser]

I'm thinking a Host being a system being setup with a static IP address, or a DHCP value. Essentially, what IP address do you point a system to for network access.

hosts are the computers in a network group.
thank you

You would use the IP of the router's interface that is on the same subnet as the host.
