Cisco IOS-XE Fails
ip add 241.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Not a valid host address - 241.1.1.1
ip route 241.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.10.10.1
%Invalid destination prefix
XR-OS : fails
Can take the IP on a interface, but cant route it
IOS fails
we used up all the reserved ip blocks including the 169.254 and the
benchmark, and the 100.64/10 and ofcourse the RFC1918.
Lots of apps don't do ipv6 so we are finding interim solution...i guess
that's karma since doing so sort of anti-facilitating the use of ipv6 :)
