Jan 27, 2021 at 23:46 comment added Ron Maupin Remember that ethernet is not the only link-layer protocol or connection used by routers, There are also others, such as PPP, HDLC, frame relay, ATM, etc. that are sometimes used for WAN links. Ethernet is usually used on a LAN, but not always on a WAN. There are also often virtual interfaces you may configure, such as loopbacks, tunnels, subinterfaces for VLANs, etc., and each gets an address in a different network.

Jan 27, 2021 at 23:36 comment added Ron Maupin Yes, routers route packets between networks, so each router interface is in a different network. (There are such things as unnumbered interfaces, but do not get confused by that until you get the basics.)
