CIDR - Classless Interdomain Routing - to me, this merely means IP
addressing and prefixes without Classes.

So rather than having Class A addresses with a fixed classful mask of
255.0.0.0, you have any address with any subnet mask. So any network is
represented by a combination of an ID and mask bits (a prefix). E.g.
192.168.10.0/24, 10.3.2.0/30 etc....

There is nothing special about it - I have always thought in CIDR terms, and
thought how stupid Class A, B, C is....it's probably good to know how to
configure prefix-lists....

Is this something (CIDR) I should really concentrate on? If so, does anyone
have any easy tricks on doing it?

3 days....Yikes!
