Ohio is right. In fact, thinking about this last year led me to the
realization that dotted decimal is *really* base-256 notation. Just as with
binary you need 2 symbols for the different digits, 10 for decimal, and 16
for hex, you would need 256 different symbols for base-256. Since that would
be incredibly cumbersome, an easier solution is to use decimal values from 0
to 255 for each base-256 "digit" and separate them with dots. Speaking of
weird bases, any VTAMers out there use base-32? It's the only time I have
ever run across it.

I'm not sure if this answers your question but:

Area 700 to --> Area 0.0.2.188

The 2 is 2x256=512 Then add 188 to get 700

Another one, how to I convert:

Area 500 to --> Area 0.0.1.244

The 1 is 1x256=256. Then add 244 to get 500.

Hi Group,

Got a quick one (may be I'm having a mind block ;)

If I want to configure OSPF using dotted decimal notation...

How to I convert:

Area 700 to --> Area 0.0.2.188

Another one, how to I convert:

Area 500 to --> Area 0.0.1.244

If anyone can show me how to do the conversion, that would be greatly
appreciated.

Cheers,
H.
