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.


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?
