CCNA Portable Command Guide

When compared to an IP address, a wildcard mask will identify what addresses get matched for placement into an area:

  • A 0 (zero) in a wildcard mask means to check the corresponding bit in the address for an exact match.

  • A 1 (one) in a wildcard mask means to ignore the corresponding bit in the addresscan be either 1 or 0.

Example 1. 172.16.0.0 0.0.255.255

172.16.0.0 = 10101100.00010000.00000000.00000000 0.0.255.255 = 00000000.00000000.11111111.11111111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Result = 10101100.00010000.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx 172.16.x.x (anything between 172.16.0.0 and 172.16.255.255)

Tip:

An octet of all zeros means that the address has to match exactly to the address. An octet of all ones means that the address can be ignored.

Example 2. 172.16.8.0 0.0.7.255

172.168.8.0 = 10101100.00010000.00001000.00000000 0.0.0.7.255 = 00000000.00000000.00000111.11111111 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Result = 10101100.00010000.00001xxx.xxxxxxxx 00001xxx = 00001000 to 00001111 = 815 xxxxxxxx = 00000000 to 11111111 = 0255 Anything between 172.16.8.0 and 172.16.15.255
