Hi,

what does it mean if i have configure ospf network statements to "match
the interface exaclty"?

interface s0/0
ip add 150.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

router ospf 1
netwo 150.1.1.1 0.0.0.0

or

router ospf 1
netwo 150.1.1.1 0.0.0.255

The first configuration does match the ip address exactly and the second
does match the netmask directly.
What should you choose. I know both are valid, but what would be the
right one regarding to "exaclty
match the interface"?

Frank
