Hi, all;
I recently started considering why I might want to have a 32-bit mask
for my loopbacks as opposed to some other scheme - for instance using
the regularly documented 24-bit mask on a loopback.
I am speaking of course, of: Interface Loopback0
IP Address 10.0.0.1
255.255.255.0
versus approaching this matter in this fashion:
Interface Loopback0
IP Address 10.0.0.1
255.255.255.255
So, my questions are: 1)
Has any one here seen a detailed discussion of this matter?
Can you provide me a link to it?
2) Based on what a friend of mine feels, his view is that there
is never any benefit to having a 24-bit, or 28, or 29-bit mask on a
loopback. In his view, loopbacks will always need to be, very logically,
used with 32-bit masks.
Can anyone please shed some light on this matter?
Thank you.
Joshua Dughi
