- It doesn't. You can consider this definitive. But you're close.
- Could somebody with experience of this give me a hint.
- As we are not in need to have more than about 20-30 nodes in the C net,
- we'd like to split it to 7bit host addresses
- This can't work because you can't have a 1 bit subnet mask. You have to
- have at LEAST two bits.
- [picture with discontiguous subnets]
- Routing is to be static or IGRP.
- This won't work with IGRP because IGRP cannot support discontiguous
- subnets. If you get version 9.1 and use static routing, or use OSPF you
- can do this.
