Hmm.....help add doesn't mention "add netmask" :-) Also there isn't a
"show netmask". How do I find out what netmasks have been specified?

I did "add netmask 194.46.17.0 255.255.255.240" and then "add route
194.46.17.16 194.46.17.30 2" and everything worked!

I don't run RIP at all on the IRX.

Thanks
