i have this particular confusion:

i have this configuration setup which conflicts:

## NODE 1
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.202.18.8
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.240
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.202.18.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 164.100.3.1
164.100.17.3

## NODE 2
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.202.18.8
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.248

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 164.100.3.1
164.100.17.3

here only difference is that subnet mask is 240 and 248, others remains the
same. well, as these two are on seperate subnets, then why is this IP
conflicts???

can you pls clear me on this issue???

You've assigned the same IP address to two different nodes on a
network, which isn't allowed. Assigning different subnet masks to the
two nodes doesn't change that.

Even if you could assign them the same address, none of the nodes on
the network (including those two) would be able to communicate with
both of them.

What's your reason for this configuration? There's probably another
way to accomplish it.
