Hi,

thats very simple ... its the opposite of subnetting? (i hope you know subnetting).

an example:

you have 4 Class C Networks:

192.168.0.0/24

192.168.1.0/24

192.168.2.0/24

192.168.3.0/24

and you would merge it to one supernet, than it would like so:

192.168.0.0/22

and thats it.

Hi Nasheer

Martin has already posted an answer to your question but just for you info there is a good paper on IP addressing/subnets/supernets etc on Cisco site.
