[KLUG Members] IP Routing and other issues...

[Bryan J. Smith]

Quoting Peter Buxton <peter@killdevil.org>:
> If you truly want to mess with large numbers, make your netmask
> 255.255.0.0 and assign hosts to 
> 172.16.100.x
> 172.16.200.x  
> where 172.16.[0-254].[1-255]

You can also use 172.17, 172.18 ... 172.31 as they are reserved too.

>          10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255  (10/8 prefix)
> 	 172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255  (172.16/12 prefix)
> 	 192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

Note the last two lines:
  172.16/12 = 16 class B networks of 172.16..31/16
         ^^                                     ^^

  192.168/16 = 256 class C networks of 192.168.0..255/24
          ^^                                          ^^
