It depends. If you are using a classless routing protocol, you can
certainly use these subnets. If you are using a classful routing
protocol, then it depends on the vendor platform and if they have
a mechanisn that supports explicit use of these subnets.

A word of caution is needed, however, since using them is not
RFC compliant. :-)
