Yeah, but you cannot really subnet that way:

[angenenr at shutdown ~]$ipcalc.pl 192.168.0.16/255.255.255.224
Address:   192.168.0.16         11000000.10101000.00000000.000 10000
Netmask:   255.255.255.224 = 27 11111111.11111111.11111111.111 00000
Wildcard:  0.0.0.31             00000000.00000000.00000000.000 11111
=>
Network:   192.168.0.0/27       11000000.10101000.00000000.000 00000
HostMin:   192.168.0.1          11000000.10101000.00000000.000 00001
HostMax:   192.168.0.30         11000000.10101000.00000000.000 11110
