Hi Guys
I've got a customer who has a VSAT WAN network consisting of Cisco routers,
who has for a point to point connection between 2 routers used different
subnet masks i.e on the interface of one router the IP address is 172.16.8.1
Mask 255.255.240.0, on the interface of the router at the other end of the
link an IP address of 172.16.8.35 mask 255.255.255.240. (No dynamic routing
protocol is in operation at the moment). For the remote router to send data
accross the link a static route has to be configured as 172.16.8.1 is not in
it's subnet.
I'm trying to find documents on the web (i.e RFC's) to show to the customer
that this subnetting scheme, is unconventional, unadvisable and not
recommended, and that devices residing on the same network should have the
same subnet mask.
Can anyone help ????
Thanks in advance
Simon CCNP
