This should be perfectly acceptable, remember that all the network command does 
is match IP addresses and tag the interface as participating in the routing 
process. However in some cases where you are cutting and pasting it may be 
easier to use the network command differently.

Example would be configuring OSPF or EIGRP on multiple routers for the same 
network.

10.10.10.1/24
10.10.10.2/24
10.10.10.3/24
10.10.10.4/24

In this case it's much easier just to use the following and then copy/paste to 
all routers

router eigrp 1
 no auto-summary
 passive default
 network 10.10.10.0 0.0.0.255

Ultimately you will do what works for you, but the more time you can save the 
better!!! :)

Good luck and when is you lab?

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] Wildcard mask with EIGRP


I use a wildcard mask matching the exact interface that I want to advertise in 
EIGRP the very same as in OSPF

I have never had any issues but I want to make sure of it before LAB day.


Example

inter fas 0/1
 ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
inter serial 0/1
 ip address 20.20.20.1 255.255.255.128


If I used OSPF

 router ospf 1
  network 10.10.10.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
  network 20.20.20.1 0.0.0.0 area 0


If I used EIGRP

router eigrp 15 (this is my preferred method)
  network 10.10.10.1 0.0.0.0
  network 20.20.20.1 0.0.0.0

or

router eigrp 15
  network 10.10.10.1 0.0.0.255
  network 20.20.20.1 0.0.0.127
