The original user was asking for assistance on what would be the right configuration specific to his scenario which was a host static NAT and Ryan simply provided that. I simply saw what you stated was not adding any value to the discussion other than what seemed to be fault finding, as adding netmask in this case, OR NOT makes absolutely no difference. Maybe I read it wrong and if so I apologize. Agree, best practices are important but it's irrelevant in this context or discussion, IMO.

You pointed out, to me, on how to complete a command. I don't need assistance with that.

I pointed out that it is best to offer people that are newer to Cisco and/or a specific platform best practices (for many reasons).

Here's an example from my home ASA on why best practices...are best practices:

homepix(config)# static (inside,outside) 58.66.76.88 192.168.0.100
homepix(config)# sh run static
static (inside,outside) 58.66.76.88 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.255
homepix(config)# static (inside,outside) 172.16.0.0 172.16.0.0
homepix(config)# sh run static
static (inside,outside) 58.66.76.88 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.255
static (inside,outside) 172.16.0.0 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0

If you think that's arrogance, that's your opinion.

Wow! Arrogance at its best ;-)
Sure been around Cisco long enough and infact been _IN_ Cisco long enough.. but I simply wanted to point out the fact that it was uneccessary what you pointed out. No offense!!

If you haven't been around Cisco long enough to know not to assume, then be my guest.

But, that's poor advice to offer a person that is somewhat new (or new) to Cisco. That's how bad habits start.

I would recommend completing your static with the appropriate netmask.

and will be auto-completed when you enter the command in CLI.
