Oh. A static ip implied more reliability/stability.

Thanks for the link!!

Wireless IP address and broadcast address cannot be the same. It won’t work.

23

The problem is that people don’t understand which values to use.
Thus they do something wrong and it doesn’t work.

This needs to be 255 instead of 254.

@obj Would it be possible not to have setting for the broadcast address and simply calculate it from the subnet mask?
It seems a somewhat common issue.

24

You can just omit the foo-broadcast setting entirely and it’ll get omitted from the resulting generated config files and the existing network tools will work it out.

The assumption is that if you’re configuring a static IP you know what you’re doing.

Yeah i understand that assumption and it makes sense.
Just curious if someone ever needed the broadcast option.

Deleted the broadcast id. Works fine.
