Once upon a time Jake Messinger shaped the electrons to say...

No, that's a law of TCP/IP.

Supernetting is the opposite of subnetting - using a netmask like /22
instead of /24. But not on a 'B class' (where it would be a subnet) but
rather 'C class' addresses. /22 would cause 4 'C class' networks to be
treated as ONE logical network - a supernet.

So the 4 networks must be contiguous.
