- One way to do it is to allocate one of the subnets from the
- subnetted class B network to run on the bridged backbone
- parallel to the unsubnetted class B network. You will then
- be running two IP (sub)networks on the bridged backbone where
- one of them "glues" all the disconnected class B subnets
- together. i.e. Your subnetted class B is now contiguous.

- You do have to pay extra attention in configuring the
- backbone routers, though.
