The mask on the Hiper ARC is /24. On with the dispute! I am learning a lot
from the discussion so keep it up!
Thanks.

Jeff,
We need Mike to confirm what the mask is on the HARC interface. This will
get us past this techie discussion an onto helping the guy. His attached
network may well be mask /29 /28 ... etc. This would give the error message
he gets as it would then include the address of the HARC itself. Not a
question of Classful/Classless, more a question of inconsistency and getting
caught.
Regards,
Colin

>Maybe yes, maybe no.
No "maybe" to it...as long as the next-hop of the route isn't within
the
route itself, there's no problem. 10.1.1.12 isn't within
10.1.1.9/32,
so there's no problem. Even if it were, its *possible* to even get
that
to work...but there's not a "standard" way of doing it. If you put
the
/32 in there, its gonna be the most specific route, so it will
(should)
be referenced before any shorter length match. At that point, the
only
questions are, "Is the next-hop reachable?" There's another route
that
is valid for the next-hop address (locally connected), so yes. "Is
there a higher precedence route of the same mask length (ie, /32)?"
Possible, but unlikely.

Doesn't matter. As long as the next-hop for the /32 route is
reachable,
it should be accepted. Even if the next-hop isn't reachable, the
route
should probably be accepted...just not entered into the active
routing
table.
