Frequently Asked Questions on Supernet
Why is super netting or hyper lacing used?
In other words, super netting is a method to group a few smaller IP networks into a network that is on a broader scale. This aids optimize routing, reduce the number route table entries, and this is why the network becomes efficient and scalable.
What sets aside super netting from subnetting?
The network subnetting process divides the large IP network into smaller subnetworks, while the super netting merges the IP networks into a single network. Subnetting serves to provide IP address numbers of the network while super netting is used to achieve simplified routing of traffic between networks.
Will we be able to use subnet masks from different networks with the super network?
Yes, contiguous IP address ranges are required for systems of different subnet masks as long as they undergo Super netting. Nevertheless, the final Supernet mask will be determined by the common prefix, appearing in the network addresses.
What is Supernet?
In the world of networking, a super net is a technique used to concatenate multiple IP networks into a larger network that has a single address and therefore keep a table of routing small. This process finds application when the organizations possess clusters of networks, which they are supposed to treat as one unit.
