# Subnet Masks For IP Routing

Ending IP Address

IP Routing Summary

Network Mask

Starting IP Address

  This feature enables you to define several subnets within a large network. For instance, one network can consists of several subnets, all of which share the same subnet mask.
  Your subnet mask should reflect your largest subnet (e.g., class C). Your starting address should reflect the lowest address on your smallest network (e.g., class A). Your ending address should reflect the highest address on your largest network.
  If you choose to use the IP Routing Summary feature, the only address that is forwarded in the RIP packet is the class A, B, or C address. This saves time by only having to broadcast the network address as opposed to the individual node addresses for each network.
  Click on the Add button to define a series of IP addresses within a subnet.
