I can confirm what Jason said, SCCM does support a supernet, when I had to 
figure this out, I had to use the IP calculator at:

http://jodies.de/ipcalc

As an example, add 10.1.0.0/23 to the link above, and you will see that it can 
handle 510 hosts. To add to SCCM, add 10.1.0.0/23 to the AD Sites and Services 
utility, then force SCCM to do an AD Forest Discovery with the “Automatically 
create IP address range boundaries for IP subnets when they are discovered” box 
checked, you will see the boundary IP address range has all 510 hosts.

We do use ranges for some areas but most of our boundaries are subnets.

Are you trying to “supernet” some subnets together within SCCM? I.e. putting in 
10.1.0.0 as a boundary to cover both the 10.1.2.0/24 and 10.1.3.0/24 subnets? 
If so, SCCM doesn’t support this technique.

Thanks,
James Massardo

We’ve always used IP ranges, maybe this was why. I don’t recall.

I thought 'IP Range' was the recommended implementation because Subnet and Site 
Only posed issues.  Maybe I'm remembering wrong...

Hey guys – Have an interesting one for you. I am doing an SCCM Migration at a 
client. They have 4 existing SCCM sites (1 2007 Central, 2 2007 Child 
Primary’s, 1 2012 Primary), plus the new 1602 site I just built.

I am seeing some issues with site assignment as it relates to client push. I am 
needing to use an IP Address Range to get the client to be assigned, using a 
subnet as a boundary isn’t working.

There was some existing boundary overlap, I believe I have cleaned all of that 
up. All sites are publishing correctly. I have made sure that before I add a 
boundary to the new site, I have removed it from any of the existing sites.

Is there anything else that I am missing?
