Looking at the demo, this feature doesn't appear to be there.

Situation::: multiple data centers and their IP ranges are broken down logically

C = 192.168.
___ = just a manual indent



C.0.0/20 == DataCenter1 Production Networks
___C.0.0/24 DC1 ProdNet1
___C.1.0/24 DC1 ProdNet2
___C.2.0/24 DC1 ProdNet3
etc

C.64.0/20 == Datacenter2 Production Networks
___C.64.0/24 DC1 ProdNet1
___C.65.0/26 DC1 ProdNet2
___C.65.64/26 DC1 ProdNet3
etc

Would it be possible to have supernet containers?

Thanks,
TroyC

This functionality is there in the form of "blocks". You can access it using the add blocks menu option or click on the blocks tab in the search results window.

Basically a block is an arbitrary range of IP addresses that you define and give a name to. Then the block map allows you to visualize address space.

I generally define blocks similar to what you mention so I can document the supernets of various locations then I can also document even within subnets smaller ip address ranges that I may want to reserve for various purposes.

Have a look at blocks and see if it will work for what you need.

Thanks
