IP Network Addressing Scenarios

F-53160-A2-GB21-50 January 1997

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).
