SubnetsAllocated

Summary

Indicates the number of subnets that have been allocated on

the system.

Subnets are the second component of the three-component

LonTalk domain/subnet/device addressing hierarchy used by

devices on LONWORKS networks. The subnet address is the

level at which routers decide whether to forward a packet;

therefore, the same subnet cannot appear on both sides of a

configured or learning router. Subnets are typically added to

the system automatically as routers or devices are added.
This property has a range of 1–255, as there can be a

maximum of 255 subnets per system. Knowing how many

subnets have been allocated may be useful if you are

managing large systems. For example, if you plan to merge

two OpenLNS databases, you can use this property to

determine if they have more than a combined total of

255

subnets (in which case, the merge would fail).

Availability

Local, full, and lightweight clients.
