RE: Subnet Question? Help

Logically and router-wise, it will not work.

50 = 00110010 as a binary number. Think back to everything from the CCNA
days. Subnetting is about drawing a line.

Everything on the left of the line is subnet, everything on the right of the
line is host.

Besides, the router will bitch:
emanon-R8(config-if)#ip address 172.16.26.49 255.255.50.0
Bad mask 0xFFFF3200 for address 172.16.26.49
emanon-R8(config-if)#

Things that make you go "Hmmmm...."

;)

PS. So that means it's bad practice AND impossible reality.

Although id agree it's a bad practice to have address 172.16.26.49
255.255.50.0

But this will work, this gives you 52,736 addresses range's are 172.16.18.0
- 172.16.223.255

it might be error, they likely meant 172.16.26.49/255.255.0.0

255.255.50.0 is a bad subnet mask.
