OK, I'll bite. I've been doing ip route statements going on 8 years now, and I can't imagine why ever -- and how it would even work -- you'd want to ip route a netblock with a next hop of a multi-access brandcast media. As in, the next hop is still truly undetermined. I guess I don't know this because I've never tried it. But, how does the router determine where to send the packets for a route statement as specified above (ip route a.b.c.d e.f.g.h f0/0) ?
So then what do you call a connected route (for an ethernet interface on a router)? If you use ethernet, at the edges of your network you HAVE to route IP blocks to the ethernet.
