hi, I observed that PLC 5/40E is not observing its subnet configuration. If i put IP address of range 192.x.x.x it assumes its c class and if I put IP address 172.16.x.x, it assumes its B class address.

Anybody have such observation or experience ?
 
What you have is correct in some degree.

Class A 0.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255

Class B 128.0.0.0 - 191.255.255.255

Class C 192.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255

Class D 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255

Class E 240.0.0.0 - 255.255.225.255

With that said Classful networks are no longer used and have not been for a very long time.

What you want to be using is the private address range which is.

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

Using Classful addresses in your private LAN that are outside the Private subnet scope will cause your grief.

Forget the term network class. Forget class A, B, C networks as this does not exist any longer.

People only still make reference to this because they are misinformed.

No matter how hard we push that terminology just won't die for some reason.
