Figure 38-2 IP Classless Routing
In Figure 38-3 , the router in network 128.20.0.0 is connected to subnets 128.20.1.0, 128.20.2.0, and
128.20.3.0. If the host sends a packet to 120.20.4.1, because there is no network default route, the router
discards the packet.
Figure 38-3 No IP Classless Routing
To prevent the switch from forwarding packets destined for unrecognized subnets to the best supernet
route possible, you can disable classless routing behavior.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable classless routing:
Host

128.20.2.0
128.20.3.0
128.20.4.1
