IP Networking Address Scenario

F-5

Scenario 4

An alternative addressing scheme, for the network is shown in Figure F-4. This

example uses a subnet mask of FF.FF.00.00 for the COM port in the central-site

carrier (only), with all of the remaining subnet masks set to FF.FF.FF.00. The

advantage to this scheme is that only one route must be added to the NMS host

(135.18.0.0).
