For network numbers, you can use the conventional IP dot notation used by workstation addresses, but leave zeros in place of the workstation addresses. For example, this entry
128.32.0.0 255.255.255.0 |
means that class B network 128.32.0.0 should have 24 bits in its subnet field, and 8 bits in its host field.
