[nsp] Ip address on interface

[Voll, Scott]

ip address 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0 is the network.... it is not a
real IP address.... it's like the 192.168.10.255 is the broadcast.

I didn't know you could use 0 as an IP but if you use ip address
192.168.10.0 255.255.0.0  then 192.16.0.0 is the network and
192.168.255.255 is the broadcast.

Does that answer your question?

Hi all,
 
i'd like to do a question, i configured on my router an ip address on
the serial interface and i assigned this :
 
ip address 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
 
and the response is Bad Mask....that's all right.
 
I don't know why if i assigned this :
 
ip address 192.168.10.0 255.255.0.0 
 
it accept this command.
 
Is it maybe a stupid question?????
Is it correct????
 
 
Regards,
Thanks
