One reason why RFC 1812 forbids this kind of stuff. It really screws up CIDR
You can't express these masks as a prefix of contiguous bits.

Subject: Simplify this subnet mask
My last post wasn't worded right, sorry.
10.1.1.1 255.255.00 = 10.1.1.1/16 O.K.
10.1.1.1 0.255.255.0 =?????????? or
10.1.1.1 170.170.170.170 =???????
HOW would a person simplify this to a network address with a / ?
Again, if these unusual subnet masks don't work, then this point is null.
Thanks gang,
Dale CCNA?
