IP Addresses

FTOS supports IP version 4, as described in RFC 791. It also supports classful routing and Variable Length
Subnet Masks (VLSM). With VLSM one network can be can configured with different masks.
Supernetting, which increases the number of subnets, is also supported. Subnetting is when a mask is
added to the IP address to separate the network and host portions of the IP address.
