  • 1.  "mask to short" error - while applying a static route

    Posted 10-23-2011 00:59

    I am trying to add static route in Junos. However, i am getting a weird error "Mask too short". It should be very basic to just add a static route.

     

    any thoughts please.error below

     

    Regards,

    Mubarak

    Hi there,

    What is the correct route You are trying to add?

    Is that 172.26.96.1/32 or 172.26.96.0/27 or 172.26.96.128/27 or 172.26.96.192/27?

    The route 172.27.96.1/27 is invalid because it has nonzero host portion bits:

    172.26.96.0 is the subnet portion, .1 is the host portion.
