that's a subnet... depending on available address-space you can have as 
big a subnet as you want ie larger than a /24 a /20 whould be 4096 
addresses a /8 would be 16.7 million. The biggest subnet I'vew done for a 
wireless gig was /19...

  In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last
  resort of the scoundrel.  With all due respect to an enlightened but
  inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.
