RIP and IGRP are Classful routing protocols. Meaning that they will
recognize and IP by the first octet and automatically use the default mask
associated with that class. They will disregard any subnets. Therefore you
have the ip classless command which tells these protocols to forget about
the default mask and listen to subnet information.
Make Sense?
