Answer:

Subnetting is when a large network is divided into small networks and supernetting is when small networks are combined into a large network.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subnetting is the inverse process of supernetting. Subnetting is about partitioning a network into several smaller sub-networks to decrease address depletion. Supernetting is to merge various networks into a single one to fasten the routing process.
