I'm just trying to wrap my head around eigrp, and all it's greatness.
If I have statement as such
R1
router eigrp 100
network 10.0.0.0
network 192.168.1.0
no auto-summary
R2
router eigrp 100
network 10.0.0.0
network 192.168.1.0
no auto-summary
What would wildcard mask do for me if I were to use it in my config? Isn't the network statement I put in encompass the entire 10.0.0.0/8 subnet along with the no auto-summary statement send the classless mask?

In this case, the subnet mask would only really be necessary if there were some interfaces in the 10.0.0.0 network that you didn't want included and others that you did want included in eigrp.
