Suppose you have 2 networks connected to the same set of switches. One logical network being a 255.255.255.0 subnet, while a larger network (which includes the smaller subnet) is a 255.255.252.0 subnet. If a device on the 255.255.255.0 subnet sends a broadcast packet (not unicast or multicast), am I correct in assuming the layer 2 switches will send out the broadcast to ALL devices connected, not just the smaller subnet set of devices thats in its address table?
