If the question is why it does and address and wildcard mask (172.16.0.0
0.0.255.255), then 255.255.0.0 0.0.0.0 (or host) - that's because the second
part (255.255.0.0 0.0.0.0) says to explicitly use a 16 bit subnet mask ONLY
(255.255.0.0). Without that 2nd part, the access list would apply to
anything that has [172.16.] in the 1st two octets, regardless of the subnet
mask.

So the 1st address/wildcard pair is for the address and the 2nd
"address"/wildcard pair is for the subnet mask.

guys ;
i noticed in Halabi 's book the following access list

access-list 101 permit ip 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 host 255.255.0.0
or
access-list 101 permit ip 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255 255.255.0.0 0.0.0.0

in both cases the access-list will permit only 172.16.0.0 /16 ONLY .

any explansion for this access-list ,why it looks like that ???

thx
