RIP

The ip classless Command


NOTE: A supernet route is a route that covers a range of subnets with a single entry.

NOTE: The ip classless command is enabled by default in Cisco IOS Software Release 11.3 and later.


RIP Routing: Mandatory Commands


NOTE: You need to advertise only the classful network number, not a subnet:

Router(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0
not
Router(config-router)#network 172.16.10.0

If you advertise a subnet, you will not receive an error message, because the router will automatically convert the subnet to the classful network address.
