Why can't two hosts with assigned addresses 192.168.100.5/30 and 192.168.100.50/30 communicate with each other? Also assume that network addresses can be used. How would you remedy this by swapping out only ONE of the devices on the network?

I was asked a variety of questions dealing with the position such as: name the 7 layers of the OSI model, know what ARP is, know what SMTP is, followed up by 17-18 more questions. All in all, it was a great interview.
