There is a case where putting 0.0.0.0 as the wild card is not desirable, see
the paper "forwarding behavior ..." here
http://www.netmasterclass.net/site/lib.php.

Apart from that, you may gain some time in the lab by typing 0.0.0.0 instead
of having to calculate the real wild card mask,

Subject: advertise ospf as 192.168.1.1 /29 0.0.0.0 area 0 and not 0.0.0.7

Hi,

 

I have been doing some labs and looking at all the solutions.

 

Why is it some labs setup OSPF to use wildcard mask 0.0.0.0 with say /29
multipoint hub and spoke network

As apposed to to using 0.0.0.7 mask also I tried this config with eigrp and
theirs no problem their either what is the better way and why.

 

I always was under the impression we need to advertise the mask of the
network in the above example 0.0.0.7 obviously not.
