what is meant by wild card mask and why can't we use in eigrp
?

Answer Posted / biswajit biswas, kolkata

Wild card masks are nothing but inverted subnetmasks. A wild
card mask is necessary for configuring OSPF networks because
OSPF supports both VLSM & CIDR unlike RIP & IGRP.

Although EIGRP supports VLSM, it is a hybrid protocol
because of its inherent distance vector protocol properties
- EIGRP configured with network number followed by subnet
mask like RIP & IGRP.
