Don't forget this lesser known form using extended IP ACLs:

access-list 100 permit 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0

- source ("192.168.0.0") becomes the network you want to match.
- source wildcard ("0.0.0.255") identifies the care/don't care bits,
as normal, for the network
- destination ("255.255.255.0") becomes the network mask you want to apply/match
- destination wildcard ("0.0.0.0" identifies the care/don'tc are bits,
as normal, for the network mask

The same ACE in another form is:

access-list 100 permit host 192.168.0.0 host 255.255.255.0

I first saw this form in Halabi's "Internet Routing Architectures"
book. This allows you to use access-lists to perform exact matches
with route filtering.

cheers,
Dale
