Can we have multiple IP addresses with different Net IDs on an interface? Like a Network Card? For example setting up 192.168.1.2 and 18.170.2.5 on the same network card. If yes, where do we use this method?

    Then you're in the wrong SE site. ServerFault is about IT in a business environment, not about homework questions. – Tilman Schmidt Mar 11 '21 at 14:13

Yes, you can. There might be many reasons for doing this. Mutli-homing a host with a single NIC connected to the same physical network as hosts in two different layer 3 networks is one example.
