In general, the class of address is determined by the first few bits of the
first octet.
In this case you have a class A that you have subnetted to effectively be
using the number of networks and hosts per network of a standard class C.
IOW you are treating it like a class C. It is still a class A however. The
subnet mask can't change that. All the subnet mask does is determine where
the various networks start and stop, etc. HTH

Subject: Class A or C??
We are configuring a PIX interface with the following Address/Subnet Mask.
They are 10.9.2.3/255.255.255.0
Would this be Class A address? It is using private address space. Would the
subnet mask determine the network class?
Thank you in advance.
