Larry, I had the idea right to use 255.255.255.192 mask because that is where the bit boundary is. My question is why can't you use the 137.20.1.32/26 to summarize from 32-95. What if you had a subnet zero and didn't want that summarized. Why do I have to use the 137.20.1.0 network for summarization? If we use this example:
172.20.8.0/22 00001000 >8 172.20.12.0/22 00001100 >12 ^Bit boundary=248 11111000 >248 00001000 >8 subnet 11111000 >248 mask 00001000 >8 subnet I think I see now.If you binary AND the subnet and mask and get the subnet you can use that subnet in your summarization. If the binary AND becomes zero, then you must use zero as your network in the summary command. Is this correct? I spent too much time on this and need things like this put to bed for the Lab in November. Thanks. area 11 range 172.20.8.0 255.255.248.0 Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=44487&t=44465 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
