Can any one tell me if the last byte of a point to point or loopback ipaddress with 32 bit mask can be 0 or 255?
For e.g.:
Is 10.1.1.0/32 a valid interace address?
% host core3.sfrn.ca core3.sfrn.ca.rcn.net has address 208.59.222.0 Been up and running fine for the past 11 months, happy loopback in ISIS/iBGP/EBGP converstions. The largest hurdle was getting the knuckle-draggers to not be confused or believe it an error. I would have to ask why you would think it would NOT be valid? If there is a vendor implementation that has probelems with it, that would be a bug, and I would consider it one for anyhting past 1994 vintage code.
