[Netdot-users] Merging Subnets in Netdot v1.0.6

[Boyer, Eric]

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know if there is a way within Netdot to merge multiple subnets together into a larger subnet? For example, I have 2 /26 networks and 1 /25 network that are all contiguous. The desire is to merge these three networks into 1 /24 without losing any data. I don’t want to create a container of these subnets, but rather merge the current subnets into the larger /24 subnet. A container could work but it’s not the organizational structure I’d like to use.

Does Netdot support this? If not, any recommendations on accomplishing this somewhat easily?

Thanks,

Yep. I just ran through your example as a test. Pretty easy:

A => 1.5.0.0/26
B => 1.5.0.64/26
C => 1.5.0.128/25

Delete B and C (do not delete children blocks!)

Then edit A to be a /24.
