Re: Using route maps in EIGRP

Ben,
         My comments were based on the following document and I was
referring to standard ACLs.

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/103/eigrpfaq.shtml

"The use of ACL and distribute-list under EIGRP does not work in this case.
This is because ACLs do not check the mask, they just check the network
portion. Since the network portion is the same, when you allow 172.16.1.0/24,
you also allow 172.16.1.0/28."

I usually use Prefix-list for route filtering as it gives me more control. I
have seen cases where extended ACLs are used to match subnet mask, but the
logic is slightly different as you suggested. Destination portion becomes
the subnet mask portion. You will find prefix list must easier to implement
specially when dealing with VLSM addresses.

HTH,
Tarun
