Hi Ben,

Iam trying to understand in your config for ospf, you have specified:

             network 172.16.1.146 0.0.0.0 area 0

Normally, when you specify the networks onto which you want to run OSPF you
specify the network address and the mask so that all the networks n which
you want run ospf on are covered.

What is the significance of your specifying a host address 172.16.1.146 with
mask 0.0.0.0 ?

Pl clarify

Thanks in advance
Srikanth N
