/31 subnet. [7:27742]

2001-11-29 Thread Nicolas FEVRIER

Hi group,

I'm puzzled by the use of /31 subnets...
Anybody can explain me the benefits of such a subnet on an interface ?

Thanxx.

Nicolas.

I use :
tftp-server flash:c3640-is-mz.121-5.T9.bin
in my "source" router to allow other routers to copy the ios image from
this
one.

Hi JP,
to give you a good example (good because I had to do it last week ;)).
I had several core routers connected with high bandwidth lines
(FastEthernet
and ATM OC3), and I needed to upgrade them but I only had access to
a subsidiary office connected to the main network via an ISDN line.
So I just upload the first router of the main network (via ISDN... take
a while...), and I configured this router to be a tftp server. Then
I uploaded my IOS image in the others backbone routers from the first
one.
It's just an example, and I'm sure there is many reasons not to use a
router
as a tftp server (security, cpu consumption, ...) but the feature exists
and it's good to know it :)

Regards,

Nicolas.
