The network is diagrammed in Fig.7-30 Respective routing tables are in Figs. 7-(31-33) The question regards which subnets are unreachable. All ethernet links are subnets of 172.168.13.0. ether interface address for Router A is: 172.168.13.86/29, subnet address x.x.x.80/29 for B: 172.168.13.90/28, subnet address x.x.x.80/28 for C: 172.168.13.75/27, subnet address x.x.x.64/27 how does this affect routing? the answer key only addresses issues of rip version 1 and 2 compatibility. RTC subnet includes hosts 65-94, covering A and B RTB subnet includes hosts 81-94, covering A RTA subnet includes hosts 81-86 the config includes 'no ip classless' on all routers does that play a role? what role does longest-prefix rule play, and, lastly, what about the fact that these subnets are directly connected to their respective routers? thanks, igor ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
