Michelle, that netmask is 0b11111111111111111000000100000000 , which is
the first I have ever seen with a hole in it. For 512 addresses, I'd
have expected 255.255.254.0, which has contiguous bits:
0b11111111111111111111111000000000 (If 10 bits (1024 addresses) were the
aim, then it would be 252, but never 127, if I have any kind of grip on
this stuff.)
Not trusting the software to handle an unusual netmask, I might have
been tempted to just use a class B netmask, 255.255.0.0 , but then I can
be a Feigling in such matters.
