Overview of Network Addressing Schemes
Chapter 692
NOTE If you are already using the fixed-length addressing scheme and do not need
extra addressing space, then it is recommended that you not convert your
network to one of the new addressing schemes.
Refer to the “Subnet Addresses” subsection for information on fixed-length and
variable-length addressing.
