Routers B and C (which could also be Netopia R910s) serve the two remote networks that are subnets of a.b.c.0. The subnetting is accomplished by configuring the Netopia R910 with connection profiles for Routers B and C (see the following table).

The Netopia R910’s connection profiles for Routers B and C create entries in its IP routing table. One entry points to the subnet a.b.c.128, while a second entry points to the subnet a.b.c.248. The IP routing table might look similar to the following:
