Very Computer

Got a something that I don't fully understand, hope someone can help me out.

I've got a VLAN with the address range (10.10.10.x) configured on a
Layer 3 switch. The switch is doing all the inter-vlan routing and it
works great however when I want to publish the connected networks via
Rip V2 to the rest of the network I run into issues.

I'm trying to publish the connected routes out a interface on vlan 1
that has the following ip address 192.168.1.x/22. No rip packets are
sent to the Vlan 1 network.

Example config snippet:

ip classless
!
interface vlan 10
   ip address 10.10.10.x 255.255.255.0
!
interface vlan 1
   ip address 192.168.1.x 255.255.255.252
!
router rip
   Version 2
   redistribute-connected
   network 192.168.1.0
!

However as soon as I change the subnet mask to 24 bits or add the
following line to the Vlan 1 interface it works:
ip address 192.168.1.xx 255.255.255.0 secondary

This is the part I don't understand, why is Rip being sent out a
interface with a 24 bit subnet mask and not a 22. I would have thought
the ip classless command would have enabled this to work.

A bit stumped on this one, hope someone can enlighten me.

Thanks in advance.

If so how can I make it advertise routes onto a network with a 22 bit
subnet mask?

The network statement ONLY tells the router to run RIPV2 on the
interfaces that fall into the (or match) the network statement.  That's
all there is to it.

Also, you don't need to "redistribute connected" if you're running a
routing protocol that matches the interface already.
