To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 30 May 1996 16:58:58 -0700 (PDT) Reply-To: brian@MediaCity.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL11 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Ascend recently told me that I can't have Class C subnets with the net address set to 0 or all 1s. I'm familiar with not having the host part set to 0 or all 1s. But this is the first I've heard of the net part also not being allowed to be all 0s or 1s. So I throught I bring myself before the allmighty FreeBSD oracle and postulate my question: Ahem..., Allmighty FreeBSD Oracle is it true that that Class C subnets with the net address set to all 0s or all 1s are invalid? -- Brian Litzinger Powered by FreeBSD http[s]://www.mpress.com
