Hi,

We found a DNS A record that point to 192.168.201.0 and remove it.

If this A record are been used.

Will this address 192.168.201.0 do a broadcast if the mask are /24?

Regards Jan Rockstedt

Hello Jan,

with a /24 mask

192.168.201.0 is a base address and cannot be used for a host it represents the whole subnet in the routing table.

directed broadcast address is 192.168.201.255

hosts can use 192.168.201.1 - 192.168.201.254

Hope to help

Giuseppe
