Specifying a Broadcast Address for an Interface
In broadcasting, the IP router transmits a single packet to every host on an
attached network. To do so, it uses a broadcast address that refers to all hosts on
the network. A broadcast address is simply an IP address that contains all ones or
all zeros in the host portion.
For example, the IP Class C address 10.3.45.12 has the following characteristics:
Because the address is for a Class A network (the network portion is 1 byte),
the host portion contains 3 bytes.
Because the host portion of a broadcast address consists of all ones or all
zeros, the broadcast address for that network can be one of the following:
10.255.255.255, 10.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, or 0.0.0.0.
You configure a broadcast address for a subnet differently from the way you
configure a broadcast address for a network. When you extend the network
portion of the IP address to create a subnet address, you automatically take away
from the host portion of the address. To configure a subnet broadcast, you take the
subnet mask for that subnet and invert it. For example, if the IP address of the
subnet is 10.4.2.3, and the mask is 255.255.0.0, then the subnet broadcast address
is either 10.4.255.255 or 10.4.0.0.
Some networks do not support broadcasts; thus, configuring an IP broadcast
address does not guarantee efficient broadcast delivery.
By default, IP uses a broadcast address that contains all ones in the host portion.
Accept the default unless the calculated broadcast address (host portion) of all
ones is not adequate. If this is the case, then use the BCC or Site Manager to enter
the appropriate IP broadcast address in dotted-decimal notation.
Using the BCC
To specify a broadcast address, navigate to an IP interface prompt (for example,
stack; eth 2/2; ip/2.2.2.2/255.0.0.0
) and enter:
broadcast
<broadcast_address>
broadcast_address
is an IP address expressed in dotted-decimal notation.
