Re: Network Broadcast Address


When you want to make it more "permanent" - activated after a reboot. And that goes for any routes you add/change/delete via "route add"/"route delete".

Re: Network Broadcast Address

Hi Kevin,

Normally, you don't. The arguments in netconf for interfaces are passed to the ifconfig command. The broadcast address is determined based on the IP address specified for that interface and the subnet mask. You shouldn't need to specify the broadcast address unless you are adhering to an old standard for broadcasts addresses (all zeros instead of all ones).
