As a rule, broadcast packets in a local network have an address which results from the valid IP addresses and the netmask. In special cases (e.g. when using subnets for a selection of workstations) it may be necessary to use a different broadcast address. In this case the broadcast address is entered into the DHCP module. With the default value, the broadcast address is found automatically.
Note: We recommend that only experienced network specialists change the presetting for the broadcast address. Errors in the configuration can lead to the establishment of undesired and costly connections.
