Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Can AD sites be setup with larger subnets that include all networks at a site? &nbsp;Is there a down side to this?<br />
<br />
For example <br />
10.101.0.0/16 &nbsp;= NYC<br />
<br />
10.129.0.0/16 = Miami<br />
<br />
10.192.0.0/16 = Azure<br />
<br />
10.104.0.0/16 = Texas DC<br />
<br />
10.2.0.0/15 – Field Office<br />
10.4.0.0/14 - Field Office<br />
10.8.0.0/13 - Field Office<br />
10.16.0.0/12 - Field Office<br />
10.32.0.0/12 - Field Office<br />
10.48.0.0/15 - Field Office<br />
10.50.0.0/16 &nbsp;- Field Office
