ifconfig broadcast
2007-12-25 9:01:00
On SunOS 4 ifconfig is done in /etc/rc.local; on SunOS 5 it is done
in /etc/init.d/inetsvc.
The lines, by default, are, respectively:
ifconfig -a netmask + broadcast + > /dev/null
and:
/usr/sbin/ifconfig -au netmask + broadcast +
As I said in my original post, netmasks can be set in either case in
/etc/netmasks.
Normally, broadcast is set by automatic calculation based on the netmask.
For default netmask, broadcast is xxx.xxx.xxx.0 for 4, and xxx.xxx.xxx.255
for 5.
Thanks especially to Vippin, Tim, Gene, Steve and Patrick
