Dunno how "manual" has any bearing. This is IMHO just about natural data modeling. You say it's two values but when one can't be used without the other, are they so separated? You can't configure an interface with just an address or just a subnet mask. You need both - they belong together. Similarly, in a routing table you have prefixes, which consist of an address and a length - it got its own data type yet you could apply your argument to it and say they should be separated. It's just that *that* data type forbids bits to be set in the mask portion of the address, which is correct for the routing table use case, but means it can't be used to describe an interface address and mask. kll > > > /martin > > > "Acee Lindem (acee)" <acee@cisco.com> wrote: >> Ok, now I'm confused.
