  <title>Multiple Subnets in Shared Network</title>
  <para>&PRODUCT; provides you with the flexibility to add guest IP ranges from different subnets in
    Basic zones and security groups-enabled Advanced zones. For security groups-enabled Advanced
    zones, it implies multiple subnets can be added to the same VLAN. With the addition of this
    feature, you will be able to add IP address ranges from the same subnet or from a different one
    when IP address are exhausted. This would in turn allows you to employ higher number of subnets
    and thus reduce the address management overhead. You can delete the IP ranges you have
    added.</para>
