Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the details of the procedure described and match it to the available code options.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. I know we covered IP addressing and subnetting, but I can't quite remember the specific term for grouping routes. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I've got a strategy - I'll start by identifying the SDP connections and then evaluate each one based on the port group configuration. That should help me determine the answer.
