Can we have 000.000.000.000 as the IP address?
If yes, in what case?
Thanks,
Rahul

SolutionNo matter what netmask you apply to this
address it becomes a network address not a
host.
i.e. netmask 255.255.255.0
then an address of x.y.z.0 is the network.
Hosts on this nework range from 1 to 254 in
the last place.
Why do you want to use 0.0.0.0 ??
HTH and thanks for any points. ...Laurie:{)

Re: A small Question - ip addresses
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3330.txt
"0.0.0.0/8 - Addresses in this block refer to source hosts on "this" network. Address 0.0.0.0/32 may be used as a source address for this host on this network; other addresses within 0.0.0.0/8 may be used to refer to specified hosts on this network [RFC1700, page 4]."
So the answer is probably no...
In the context of Procurve Switches you do not have to assign them an IP address.

Re: A small Question - ip addresses
This question was asked to one of my friend in an interview. He asked me if I knew the answer. I was not sure. SO, I posted this in this group. As always, my question got answered. Thanks again.

Re: A small Question - ip addresses
Googling for:
how DHCP works "0.0.0.0" yeilded the following:
http://www.intranetjournal.com/articles/200004/im_dhcpb.html
The next 20 bytes comprise the IP header. The source IP address is set to 0.0.0.0 because the DHCP client does not yet have an IP address.
So, while my answer was correct, it obviously was not what Rahul was looking for.
