As it does with routes learned over numbered interfaces, IP stores each route
learned over an unnumbered interface in the routing table. The routing-table entry
for a route learned over an unnumbered interface contains the following values:
Point-to-point connections using unnumbered interfaces can be configured to
advertise RIP, OSPF, IBGP, DVMRP, and static routes.
The associated address assigned to the unnumbered interface determines whether
or not RIP configured to send updates in Version 1 mode will advertise a
subnetwork over the unnumbered interface. The associated address also
determines which mask is applied to RIP V1 updates received on that interface.
For unnumbered links using RIP V1, the defined associated addresses at each end
of the link must belong to the same network and have the same mask for routes to
be exchanged correctly.
If a subnetwork on the router has the same mask as the associated address, RIP V1
will advertise that subnet over the unnumbered interface. If the mask on the
subnetwork is different from the mask of the associated address, RIP V1
advertises only the natural network of the subnet.
BGP peers, NetBIOS, and BootP cannot be configured directly on an unnumbered
interface. To configure a BGP peer-to-peer session on routers connected through
unnumbered interfaces, see Configuring IP Exterior Gateway Protocols (BGP and
EGP). To route NetBIOS packets over an unnumbered interface, you must
configure a static entry to the name server. To run BootP over unnumbered
interfaces, you must select a preferred BootP server. For instructions, see
Configuring SNMP, BootP, and DHCP Services.

Note: Unnumbered interfaces cannot be pinged directly. For this reason, such
interfaces can make it difficult to diagnose router problems.
Note: Nortel Networks recommends that you select RIP2 mode for
unnumbered interfaces. With RIP2, RIP updates contain both the route and
mask information.
