The second one.

When it says to match exactly, I take it to mean the OSPF network statement
should have the same mask as the interface. Both forms will work fine and
as far as I know. The only difference in functionality between the two that
I am aware of is some obscure route optimization issue on broadcast type
networks. BUT...if the lab says exact network statements then that's the
way you should configure it.

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
