Three Host PC have ip addresses 10.0.0.1/8, 172.16.0.1/16 and 192.168.0.1/24. if i connect all of them using a layer 2 switch, will they ping with each other ?

have you tried them on a real lab yet?

Switch delivery packet by Mac address so we cannot use a layer 2 switch.

You can add a static route on the PCs for testing.

Yes I have. Actually it works!

For those who don't believe, try to setup your real lab and set IP address the same value as default gateway. You'll be very surprised!
