Steve,

That matches the 10.20.4.0 subnet and 10.30.4.0 subnet, but it won't match any hosts on either subnet, because the last octet is 0 and the wild-card bits are zero (must match).

I was looking for a wildcard mask of 0.10.0.255 to match all hosts on either 
subnet.

If you went further, you could have also come up with 0.255.0.255, to match 10.x.4.x.

Terry is right, I may have jumped the gun with the inverse mask statement 
(although it's mentioned this way in many documents). For Terry's experiment 
let's assume we want to match the voice vlan for buildings  20 and 30 
(10.20.4.0 and 10.30.4.0). By breaking this down into binary and using AND/OR 
logic we can easily come up with our answer

00001010.00010100.00000100.0000000
00001010.00011110.00000100.0000000
----------------------------------
00001010.00010100.00000100.0000000 = 10.20.4.0

00001010.00010100.00000100.0000000
00001010.00011110.00000100.0000000
----------------------------------
00000000.00001010.00000000.0000000 = 0.10.0.0

So the "wildcard" mask to match both buildings would be 0.10.0.0

Cheers!

Thank you.

Subject: Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] offset-list and wild card mask

Good answer, Jay. For everyone who thinks that the wild-card mask is the 
opposite of the subnet mask...

I have a set of subnets that I need to match. The first octet is 10. The second octet is 
a building number. The third octet identifies the subnet in each building, and is 
"4" for the voice subnet, which is what I want to match.

Build a wild-card mask that matches
10.x.4.x

Is it the inverse of the subnet mask?

Offset list is used to increment the metric of certain routes.

In a wildcard mask a binary 0 means the bit must match and a binary 1
means it does not have to match. This is reverse logic compared to a
normal subnet mask. Also, unlike a subnet mask the 1's and 0's do not
need to be contiguous.

Hi Expert,

Does anyone can explain to me about offset-list as I kind of confused
with it. also, in my opinion that wild card mask is reverse of subnet
mask, but someone told me it isn't ?
