You are right and I was wrong. OSPF /28 would be correct in this case.

My apologies,

Assume the following prefixes available in your routing table (taken
from original example):
10.1.1.0/28   OSPF
10.1.0.0/24   EIGRP
10.1.1.0/26   Static

All three would be entered into the table since they have different
mask lengths.  If a packet destined for 10.1.1.1 were to hit the router,
which route would it choose?  The /28 would be used because it is the
matching prefix with the longest mask length.

To the person who contends that the /26 would be chosen, can you
explain your reasoning?

Regards,
John

The most specific route- mask wise. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Ask me
