Here, a second network with Hosts D and E has been added. Gateway G2 connects Subnet 2.1
with Subnet 2.2. Hosts D and E will use Gateway G2 to communicate with hosts not on Network
2.2.
Hosts B and C will use Gateways G1 and G2 to communicate with hosts not on Network 2.1.
When B is communicating with D, G2 (the configured Gateway for B) will route the data from B
to D through Gateway G2.
Host A will use Gateway G1 to communicate with hosts not on Network 1.
