Hi everyone.

I have a problem concerning 'IP CLASSLESS' on cisco routers
I have quite a lot of vpn tunnels with IP CLASSLESS enabled on the
router and some that it is not enabled.
i have noticed that there are some application that i'm using that are
not working fine when it's not enabled.
i've tried to enable it on those routers but it doesn't seem to change
anything.
i typed 'IP CLASSLESS' and when i look in the running config it's
nowhere

for example:
cisco 871w with IOS Version 12.4 = no IP CLASSLESS = not working ( but
i don't seem to be able to enable it)
cisco 851 with IOS Version 12.3 = IP CLASSLESS enabled = works fine

any explanation?

Somewhere around IOS V12.0 the DEFAULT for alI versions of IOS was
changed from CLASSFULL to CLASSLESS. As the DEFAULT does not always
show up, this may explain why it appears to be not working.

If your Router is in CLASSFULL mode, then you would not be able to
configure a Subnetted mask on any command that needed it. If you CAN
configure it, then its in CLASSLESS mode.

AFAIK these commands are a special case of what is displayed by show
running-config; typically default commands are not displayed.

Both of the commands "ip classless" and "no ip classless" will show up
in output of sh running-config.

At least this is the behavior with IOS 12.3

Please post output of show version from the 871W

Thanks everyone!
I thought that would be the problem why some program aren't working
through the VPN,
but then i guess it's not... i'll have to look somewhere else. It's
because it's mainly the
only difference i could find in the 2 configs...
thanks a lot for yout help!!
