when I run the command " show ip route " right before it shows my routes there is a line that reads:
10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 8 subnets, 2 masks
can anyone explain what this means to me ?
10.0.0.0/8 is the classful network. You can break the subnet down to smaller IP networks. When you do this it is call subnetting. Your output is telling you that you a have multiple IP subnets under the classful network of 10.0.0./8. Directly underneath it will list the subnets in that class.
Hope it helps.
