Since supernet 4 can fit entirely in a single Class C address space, it can use supernet 3’s surplus space. It is therefore given the last Class C address space in Supernet 3’s territory, effec- tively reducing supernet 3 to only the 7 class C networks it needs.
Supernetting and the NETServer
In order to define a supernet on the NETServer, you must add the network and its netmask to the netmasks table. For ex- ample:
add netmask 234.170.168.0 255.255.248.0
