Hi All,
Now I am really confused.
Up until this morning I thought I had a good handle on when I need to
use the real Netmask and Broadcast.
For example, If I have 3 servers, and my upline asigns me a block of
128 addresses, for the first ip used (from this block) on each server,
I would need to specify the IP, true netmask and a broadcase. Then,
when using more IPs from that block, I would use a 255.255.255.255
netmask and a broadcast equal to the IP.
Google
CIDR
IP Netmask
IP broadcast
HTH.
Hmmm... I may have had a tad too much coffee this morning. I think I
read over your OP too quick and probably have not answered the question
properly. Its all good reading... but probably not applicable to your
problem.
Today, I was in this exact position where I was tring to add an (the
first one one THAT machine, from that block) IP from a block that is
almost completely used up on another server, and the one I was adding
it to would not take it. When I tried adding it with a 255.255.255.255
netmask, and a broadcast eaqual to the amount of IPs from that block -
it worked.
this is on a FreeBSD 4.10 machine.
WHich way is correct for 4.7 and higher?
