Hi Mark,

that isnt specifically the result of enabling classless behaviour, in classful mode you are still using the last resort just that it assumes any 172.16.0.0 Class B traffic stays internal so if theres no route its dropped.

Just route 172.16.0.0/16 to null0 and it will drop the packets...

Alternatively route 0.0.0.0/0 to null0 and only configure routes on your last resort gateway for known active destinations (whichever of these produces the tidiest config)

Of course, you've not mentioned why if you have the .1 and .2 /24s in use but not the .3 is traffic being sent to it in such large quantities as to be noticable?

If you have a hierarchical network topology with the gateway of last resort facing one egress point at the core, then I've noticed that "ip classless" has the unfortunate side effect of sending all traffic out that egress pipe, whose destination is for subnets that aren't used within the network. That is my condition right now and I am burning bandwidth, and seeking a solution!

In other words, if you are using 172.16.1/24 and 172.16.2/24, and you have packets headed for 172.16.3/24, "ip classless" will make them head to the gateway of last resort instead of just dropping them.

I am using EIGRP in my network. I have it in mind to turn off "ip classless." This is one advantage of "classful routing;" traffic bound for any non-defined subnets are dropped. However, in my network, I have other subnets of 172.16 that are beyond the EIGRP cloud, so I need to be able to get to them.

One solution I've considered is explicit static routing for all valid subnets of 172.16 and then null routing anything else for 172.16/16 itself. What do you think?

Thanks, Mark P.

While I agree that having no class (when talking about networking :B) is a good thing, "classfulness" is not completely dead... Sometimes you still have to use RIP v1.. There's also EIGRP and BGP auto-summary using classful boundaries.

However, I can't get people (sales) to stop calling it "class c".

Even worse is when they (and some 'techs') call everything /24 a "class C" and a every /16 a "class B", even when it's 10.10.10/24 and 10.10/16, for example.

Yuck.
