It's kind of wierd. The source portion of the access list defines the network whose updates are permited/denied...no suprise...the wierd part is that the destination portion specifies the subnet mask of that network. So, in your example;
access-list 100 permit ip 192.108.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 0.0.0.0 ( 192.108.0.0 [wildcard] 0.0.0.0 [subnet mask] 255.255.0.0 [wildcard] 0.0.0.0) ( 192.108.0.0/16 will be advertised ) Maybe someone else can jump in...because the wildcard is 0.0.0.0 does it mean that any other VLSM networks under the 192.108.0.0/16 supernet would also be advertised? access-list 100 deny ip 192.108.0.0 0.0.255.255 255.255.0.0 0.0.255.255 ( 192.108.0.0 [wildcard] 0.0.255.255 [ subnet mask ] 255.255.0.0 [wildcard ] 0.0.255.255) (192.108.0.0/16 would be denied...the last two octets are ignored ) I'm new to all this and learning it myself...so please...someone correct me if I am wrong or add to my comments.
