Because you might want not ip addr add 172.18.12.99/21 dev dummy0 ip addr add broadcast 172.18.15.255 dev dummy0 but ip addr add 172.18.12.99/21 broadcast 172.18.15.255 dev dummy0 Magic of local/global adresses is hidden here. > -- > Frank > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in > the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
