Interesting, thanks. TBH, I really don't understand why Cisco have kept the classful support for this long...
When a friend was doing a CCNA back in 2003-ish, Cisco were still teaching classful addressing. There was plenty of other misinformation there. Apparently my home network is impossible to build with such few IP addresses. (I use proxy ARP to avoid creating unnecessary subnets of the already too small block I have.) Meanwhile, RIPE's training sessions rap you on the knuckles for using terms like "Class C" even though in a world of broken stacks from Cisco and Microsoft, you pretty much need to know about it anyway. -- PGP key ID E85DC776 - finger abuse@mooli.org.uk for full key /:.*posting.google.com.*/HX-Trace:+j
