What is Supernetting?
Supernetting is the process of summarizing a bunch of contiguous
Subnetted networks back in a single large network. Supernetting is
also known as route summarization and route aggregation.
Supernetting Process
We want to find out the super net of following IP addresses:
192.168.16.0/24
192.168.17.0/24
192.168.16.0/20
192.168.30.0/24
Step 1: Convert the addresses to binary
format and align them in a list.
192.168.16.0/24 11000000. 10101000. 00010000. 00000000
192.168.17.0/24 11000000. 10101000. 00010001. 00000000
192.168.30.0/20 11000000. 10101000. 00011110. 00000000
192.168.31.0/24 11000000. 10101000. 00011111. 00000000
Step 2: Locate the bit where the common
pattern of digits ends.
