Hello,

I try to divide a C-class net into 8 parts:
I want to divide 193.155.164.0 into

193.155.164.0 - 193.155.164.31
193.155.164.32 - 193.155.164.63
193.155.164.64 - ...

If I try to manages routes:

ip route 193.155.164.0 255.255.255.224 next-hop I get following error:
inconsistent address and netmask
if I set netmask to 255.255.255.0 then it works (naturally)

ip route 193.155.164.32 255.255.255.224 next-hop is o.k
ip route 193.155.164.64 255.255.255.224 next-hop is o.k


what could it be?

Best regards

you have not used the "ip subnet zero" command?

Try insert the following configuration string:
ip subnet-zero.
I think it is because per default Cisco thinks of the ip address
193.155.164.0 as netaddress for the whole C Class. To utilize the
address you must insert the string specified above.

The [sub]network address you are attempting to use resides in IP subnet 0.
Use the global command 'ip subnet-zero' to allow usage of host
addresses which reside in this subnet.

Subnetting with a subnet address of zero generally is not allowed
because of the confusion inherent in having a network and a subnet
with indistinguishable addresses. For example, if network 131.108.0.0
is subnetted as 255.255.255.0, subnet zero would be written as
131.108.0.0 -- which is identical to the network address.

You need the command 'ip subnet-zero'.

You have to turn on the Subnet Zero feature.
