Besides, your method is the same two steps anyway, its just that you do
dec-bin-dec, whereas I do dec-hex-dec. "de gustibus non est disputandum"
:-) I was a math major and I guess a math geek forever!

I like the 2 step method because I'd rather deal with hex than long strings
of 0's an 1's where I might make copying errors, especially when going from
dotted decimal to regular decimal. For small numbers like 700 I just think
of it as a base 256 number where each piece of the dotted decimal is a base
256 "digit". Different strokes for different folks.

Why the dual-step conversion???
Just convert straight from decimal into binary and split into 8-bit
chunks.
700 decimal is 1010111100 in binary. Or 10 10111100 split up. Or 2 and
188. :)
So 0.0.2.188 seems simple when padding the front.
Maybe it's this aversion to hexadecimal I have, or the lack of doing two
separate calculations! KISS method!

Do you mean dotted decimal? Many ways, but to me the most
straightforward
is:
1. convert to hex 700 = 0x2BC
2. pad hex on the left with zeroes to make 8 hex digits 000002BC 3.
break into pairs of hex digits and convert each pair to decimal
00.00.02.BC = 0.0.2.188

Hello All
Just a quick question, maybe a silly one. But how do you configure OSPF
Areas in Decimal Format. I know how to configure it but how do you get
the Decimal format. For example what is the Decimal Format for Area 700
and so on..
Cheers
Derek
