Hi Gang,
I had Fluke in this week showing me one of their
gadgets for basic problem determination i.e 10/100 Meg
duplexity. Which pairs are being used etc.
It discovered one of our Unix Servers, and gave it a
classfull A mask i.e /8 which I new was incorrect from
experience it has 8 bits of subnetting i.e /16.
My question is, do you know of any circumstance when a
Server would need to advertise its own network mask
for any reason ? I cannot think of one off the top of
my head, apart from if it had routing enabled, which
it hasn't.
I suspect I could extract it via a SNMP GET command,
if SNMP is enabled on the Server !!!
Regards,
Phil
PS : tried RFC 792 & 1256 but no luck in there.
