Supernetting is the process of aggregation of multiple networks into a single network, and it is an inverse process of subnetting. CIDR Value, Network ID, Subnet Mask, Broadcast ID, and Block Size of the route ID are the information required for performing the Supernetting. Supernetting can only be performed on those networks that satisfy the three rules that are explained in this ...
