ip classless and default route [7:53231]
according to many books, ip classless should be used to be able to use default route. but I just found my internet router, actually has no ip classless. which means I am using classful route lookup. And this is working fine,who can explain why note that ip address here is not real one. ! hostname xxx ! enable secret xxx ! ip subnet-zero no ip domain-lookup ip name-server x.x.x.x ! interface FastEthernet0/0 ip address 210.210.210.62 255.255.255.240 no ip directed-broadcast ! interface Serial0/0 bandwidth 64 ip unnumbered FastEthernet0/0 no ip directed-broadcast no ip mroute-cache no fair-queue ! no ip classless ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/0 Gateway of last resort is 0.0.0.0 to network 0.0.0.0 210.210.210.0/28 is subnetted, 1 subnets C 210.210.210.48 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0 S* 0.0.0.0/0 is directly connected, Serial0/0 xxx# xxx#sh flash System flash directory: File Length Name/status 1 3612344 c2600-i-mz.120-3.T3 [3612408 bytes used, 4776200 available, 8388608 total] 8192K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write) Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=53231&t=53231 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: ip classless and default route [7:53231]
You don't need the "ip classless" command because your default route points to an unnumbered serial interface. If instead it pointed to an IP address that was in the same class as your local Ethernet, then you would have a problem. Here's the classic example: e0 RouterA s0 -- s0 RouterB -->Internet routerA int e0 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0 int s0 172.16.20.1 255.255.255.0 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.16.20.2 routerB int s0 172.16.20.2 255.255.255.0 That confuses Router A. Without "ip classless," it thinks 172.16.0.0/16 is local. But that causes it not to be able to forward traffic to 172.16.20.2, the router on the other end of the serial link that has access to the rest of the world. Try it in a lab, if you get a chance. You'll see that in this situation, you need "ip classless."

Re: ip classless and default route [7:53231]
It will work fine for any destination other then 210.210.210.x/24 which is the classful network for your IP subnet. A better real-world internet example with no ip classless and internet connections would be, if you had a 64.x.x.x subnet on the serial and similar on LAN side. In this case, 64.0.0.0/8 is the classful range. There are many other customers that have a subnet in this classful range out there. With 'no ip classless' and a default route with nexthop of 64.x.x.x any traffic destined to a 64.x.x.x site would fail, but traffic to 210.x.x.x, 65.x.x.x, etc would work.
