Hi all,

When looking at suppress maps for BGP, I ran into an ACL-line that I find
hard to understand (though it works!).
Can anyone try to explain this to me?

"access-list 110 deny ip any host 255.255.255.255"

I would translate it into english like: "deny from any source to a host with
dest. ip address 255.255.255.255."

Apparently, it should be something like: " deny any source with SN mask of
255.255.255.255"

I could learn this line by heart for implementing suppress maps, but rather
understand what I'm doing..

So please let me know.

Thanks!

Fred.
