this way works. many prefer this as a matter of practice. it puts the precise interface into OSPF, and there is no chance of an accidental inclusion or exclusion. I while back I had heard some talk about issues with using this form in some IOS versions. I don't recall the talk, and I assume recent IOS versions corrected whatever the problem was. > > Why would not just listing them as the networks bound by the 30 bit mask not > work it does. the only problem I can think of is ot having the mask correct. network 192.168.1.4 0.0.0.3 area X puts only dot 5 and dot 6 into the process network 192.168.1.8 0.0.0.7 puts dot 9 through dot 14 into the process so if I had several loopbacks, each with a /32 mask, all of those in the range above would be placed into the ospf process. network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 puts all of the above into the process, plus a bunch more. so if I had 20 different serial links, each numbered with 192.168.1.x/30, the above statement puts them all into the ospf process. > > Thanks for your time dude no problem. all your interface are belong to ospf. make your time. > > John > Sydney Australia > > Ps: sorry for the disclaimer size, its huge > > > -----Original Message----- > From: John Brandis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, 7 January 2003 3:29 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: OSPF Question / Problem [7:60485] > > > G'Day all > > 1).
