By specifying /22 as the subnet mask, you're implicitly specifying the broadcast address. You don't need to specify it, manually. However, based on a CIDR notation of /22 (which is a subnet mask of 255.255.252.0), the broadcast will actually be 10.1.23.255. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
