Have a question regarding supernets and subnets. Not quite sure I understand how these work, so I was hoping someone could clarify the concepts. Say I need to design a network to support around 300 devices with these devices being in multiple departments within a company. Since there are more than 254 devices, supernetting would be beneficial, correct? So, if each department is its own subnet would I need to create subnets for these departments and then supernet them? Or is there a way to go straight to supernetting?
As an example:
Dept A - 80 hosts
Dept B - 50 hosts
Dept C - 30 hosts
Dept D - 20 hosts
Dept E - 6 hosts
Dept F - 4 hosts
Thanks!
