That's a good question. Be careful cause with addressing errors sometimes
things works fine almost of the time but problemas may appear later...

Hi all,

What about a class C network with mask /26, how many networks?
Let´s say 192.168.1.0/26
Well, it´s a class C address with 2 bits of subnet (26 - 24 from class C
standard mask). By using the (2^n)-2 rule we have: 2^2 = 4 - 2 = 2 subnets.

The subnets are:
192.168.1.0/26     invalid
192.168.1.64/26    valid
192.168.1.128/26  valid
192.168.1.192/26  invalid

With "ip subnet-zero" I can use the invalid subnet 192.168.1.0/26. So I will
have 3 subnets. However, here  I use all 4 subnets and they work very well.
What´s wrong?
