234 Appendix F IP subnetting
N0115791
Table 46 shows all possible subnet masks for a class C address using both
notations.
The first mask shown is the class C natural mask. Normally, if no mask is
specified, it is understood that the natural mask is being used.
Example: two subnets
As an example, you have a class C address 192.168.1.0 with subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
The first three octets of the address make up the network number (class C). You
want to have two separate networks.
