It is true in regard of wild-cards.

Chuck,

Just tried it on a 3662 with IOS 12.1T and it didn't work.

Rotuer(config-if)#ip address 10.1.1.1 0.255.255.0
Bad mask 0xFFFF00 for address 10.1.1.1

Too bad, it would had made a interesting trouble-shooting lab.

Albert

I hate questions like this. Can, May, Always, Never.

RFC 1812 strongly discourages this practice.

On the other hand, the world won't end if you do. You may even create a
permanent income for yourself by setting up your network like this. ;-> All
the TCP stacks I have worked with allow this on the host side. It occurs to
me I've never tried this on a Cisco router, even after the long discussion
on the topic a few months ago. Next time I'm in the routers, I'll see what
happens and report.

Subject:        Subnet Question

Question taken from the CCNA Exam Cram book by Walters, Rees, and Coe.

A subnet mask can have a value of 0.255.255.0

A) True
B) False

The Cisco answer would dictate that it is false, and in all functionality it
is true. Hypothetically though it could be true, I rememeber this discusion
a while ago, but I'm looking to see if I am smoking the proverbial crack.

Thanks all!

Aaron Moreau-Cook
Finally taking his CCNA test this coming Friday....
