For example, @Home has a small slice of 24.x.x.x, }but several other providers are also in 24.x.x.x. No lobbying required here. As of (I believe) 11.2(1), "no ip classless" would show up in cisco configurations as a default command, which means that they're likely going to change it to "ip classless" in the next major release. cisco's modus operandi when it comes to changing default behavior of commands is to spend one major release with the command in the configuration regardless of whether it's on or off, and then to change the new default behavior in the next major release. In other words, don't waste your breath screaming at them about something they decided to change a long time ago. Jeff -- Jeffrey S.
