I have a question re: ip classless. My understanding is that if there is no
specific route for a subnet in the routing table, this command allows the
router to forward packets to unknown destinations using the default route.
This being the case when the destination is a subnet of a network which is
known to the router.
My question is : since OSPF is a classless protocol, why do I need this
command to have the router forward packets using the default route. I see
this all the time where the router will not utilize the default route until
this command is added.
I can unserstand needing it with IGRP/RIP but why with OSPF?
Can someone expalin. Thanks so much.
