Very good! I'll elaborate for clarification.
The only thing that changes is the third octet and it covers the range of 32-35.
32 = 0010 0000
33 = 0010 0001
34 = 0010 0010
35 = 0010 0011
--------------
0000 0011 <- third octet wildcard mask
The first, second, and last octets must match exactly => 0.0.3.0 is the full
wildcard mask, as Marc says.
Add the other router and the last octet must match 2 and 3
2 = 0000 0010
3 = 0000 0011
--------------
0000 0001 <- fourth octet wildcard mask
So the resulting wildcard mask that works for both router configurations is
0.0.3.1
You can't get there by inverting a subnet mask.

Steve,
I thought that you might have hit 'send' a bit too quickly. But it gave me a
great opportunity to continue the thread to show what happens as you try to
match other things - in this case matching all hosts in each subnet or
matching all subnets in the second octet.
Your example would be good for matching specific subnets in a routing table,
where the last octet would be '0'. My example is better for matching devices
in an ACL.
As a continuation of the exercise, and to make sure everyone understands
wildcard masks, let's create a more real-world scenario, similar to what you
might find on a CCIE exam.
Task: Configure OSPF on a router with four interfaces:
10.1.32.2/24
10.1.33.2/24
10.1.34.2/24
10.1.35.2/24
What wildcard mask will match only those interfaces in a single OSPF network
configuration statement?
Now let's say that there's an adjacent router and you're configuring HSRP
between them. How would the network statement have to change for use in the
adjacent router that uses the .3 host address (i.e. 10.1.32.3/24)?
Is there a wildcard mask that will work for both routers, so that you have
an ospf configuration that can be shared between the two routers?
You can't arrive at the right answer to the above by inverting the subnet
mask.
I'll may have to write about this subject in a blog post... especially since
my quick Google search came up with so much inaccurate information on the
subject.

Terry I realized that I put a zero there after I hit send, I just didn't
send another email correcting myself. The point I was making was that you
were correct, and I was attempting to show that with the wildcard mask.

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 ?
