It's a theoretical question. So far I've had one person email me saying OSPF can advertise a subnet as local on a shared multi-access media. If in fact BGP can't do this, then it's no big deal to me as nothing in my network relies on this functionality. Ralph Doncaster principal, IStop.com On Mon, 7 Oct 2002, Jason Lixfeld wrote:

So, if you route to a ethernet interface, it will try toarp for thataddress on that subnet, even without having a local addresson the samesubnet? This seems to me to be something you don't want to do. Is the entire route valid as long as the router can ARP forone of theaddresses in the routed subnet?

I guess I don't know this because I've never tried it.But, how does therouter determine where to send the packets for a routestatement asspecified above (ip route a.b.c.d e.f.g.h f0/0) ?When you setup a secondary ip on an interface int fa0/0 ip address a.b.c.d e.f.g.h secondary How does it determine where to send the packets? ARP. Which is the same as adding the route described above. -Ralph-- Alex Rubenstein, AR97, K2AHR, alex () nac net, latency, Al Reuben -- -- Net Access Corporation, 800-NET-ME-36, http://www.nac.net --
