Protection against learning a bad default route through whatever routing protocol they are learning, since these two routes would be more specific than any typical default route. They probably got burned learning a default route. On Sep 23, 2011, at 7:12 PM, Glen Kent <glen.kent@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I have seen a few operators adding static routes like: 0.0.0.0/1 some next-hop and 128.0.0.0/1 some next-hop.
Why would anyone want to add such static routes? What does 0.0.0.0/1 mean. Note that the netmask is 1 and not 0.
Thanks, Glen
