Mark,
Those FC4/5 systems are not really running on my network although a colleague
has run the "ip addr show" for me:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen
1000
link/ether 00:14:2a:eb:e9:7b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.20.1.5/24 brd 10.20.1.255 scope global eth0
inet6 fe80::214:2aff:feeb:e97b/64 scope link
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop
link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
There I only see the local broadcast address (10.20.1.255) attached to
eth0 whilst these systems also see packets sent to 10.255.255.255. Same
thing for a couple of BSD systems on the same network and Windows XP.
I've done the same tests on my LAN (using the above settings) but my
Ubuntu machines and uClinux only accept packets sent to the local
broadcast address. Win XP does see any broadcasted packet
Anyway, maybe... should we consider my case as the normal behaviour of
any *nix system?
Thank you very much for your help,
Daniel.
