Using Subnet Zero
Subnetting with a subnet address of zero is strongly discouraged because of the problems that can arise if a
network and a subnet have the same addresses. For example, if network 131.108.0.0 is subnetted as
255.255.255.0, subnet zero would be written as 131.108.0.0, which is the same as the network address.
You can use the all ones subnet (131.108.255.0) and even though it is discouraged, you can enable the use of
subnet zero if you need the entire subnet space for your IP address.
Use the no ip subnet-zero global configuration command to restore the default and disable the use of subnet
zero.
