Re: access-lists vs. prefix-lists

ok, that is where i get confused.............
if, as in ACL 5 <access-l 5 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255> i don't see how
that would match /24, /25, /26 routes. i would think that you would need
to have a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.252, 0.0.0.248, 0.0.0.240. how does it
match those routes......hmm ok, slight epiphanie <sp?> is it because .252,
.248, and .240 are all subsets of the .255 which means everything under the
sun in that octet?
