Zero subnetting

[Bill Slaughter]

Is it possible to configure HP-UX 10.2 and/or 11.0 to allow subnet zero? For example, we would like to configure an HP9000 as follows:
IP Address: 150.230.2.4
Subnet mask: 255.255.252.0
Gateway: 150.230.3.254
This would give us a network of 150.230.0.1 through 150.230.3.253.

Bill,
A better forum for your question might be in
HP-UX Networking under Networking & Open View.

Subnet Design Considerations:
The deployment of an addressing plan requires careful thought on the part of the network administrator. There are four key questions that must be answered before any design should be undertaken:
1) How many total subnets does the organization need today?
2) How many total subnets will the organization need in the future?
3) How many hosts are there on the organization's largest subnet today?
4) How many hosts will there be on the organization's largest subnet in the future?
