- In article <1992Nov18.190251.26172@picker.com> you write:
- >Neither the AGS+ nor IGS firmware supports variable length subnet masks. Are

- >or buying new firmware?
-
- No, you need to be running at least 9.1 to support VLSM.
-
- >should I expect any problems using OSPF and RIP together?
-
- Nope, we're doing that right now. A side-effect, though, is that RIP only
- advertises on class/[maybe incorrect] address boundaries and may not work
- correctly in the presence of non-typical subnet masks. You must be
- careful when setting up subnets to insure that the correct information
- is being propagated.
