Hi,

Sorry for the error, resend as follow

The quick way is to determine the differences.

161=10100001= 128 + 00 + 32 + 1
225=11100001= 128 + 64 + 32 + 1
============
ExR=01000000= (64) , this will be the mask, only one bit can be 0 or 1.
               ==
And=10100001= 161 this should be the start address

 OR=11100001= 225 the higer value it can go.

To cover the above two network by one access list will be

access-list 1 [permit | deny] 161.97.37.0 64.0.0.255

What if change 225 to 226, then it will not cover the exact changes, here it
go

161=10100001 start
226=11100010 end
==============
ExR=01000011 = 67 will be the mask, there are 3 bits can be 0 or 1 to have
up to 8 combination.
And=10100000 = 160 start
 OR=11100011 = 227 end

access-list 1 permit 160.97.37.0 67.0.0.255
                     === ==
The above mean that start from 160 to 163 then 224 to 227 cover some extral
networks. As you
can see that the masks is still split...

Hope this help.

Subject: Access List Wild Card Mask - Bit splitting

Can anyone give me a good explanation of why it is bad to split up the bits
in the wild card mask? example below:

161.97.37.0 64.0.0.255

I am trying to determine if it is possible to list these two networks with
one Access List statement.

161.97.37.0
225.97.37.0
