Hi, been using .0 and .255 addresses (in the proper class-less places eg in middle of a /23 ) for years now. any kit or system that cannot handlesuch addresses as being client/end-station addresses should be dumped onto the recycling pile and got rid of (its likely that such kit cannot do IPv6 ei

I have always avoided .0 and .255 as well, however a few months back I noticed that Amazon ec2 is assigning .0 addresses to servers. My own "personal VPS" has a .0 public elastic/static IP and seems to work fine. I figure that if they're using .0 at their large scale, surely it can't be too bad.

I am scratching my head here wondering if I have run into a Cisco bug, or somehow intended weird behavior... I set the loopback IP's for a pair of 6500's (Sup720-3CXL's) to adjacent IP's and have *identical* config's on them (sans their interface and loopback IP's). One of them is 216.x.x.254 and
