March 2, 20224 yr I'm on v6.9.2 ... and when I set a static IP from the web interface, the broadcast address is set to 0.0.0.0... I have to go to console and issue a manual ifconfig eth0 broadcast x.x.x.255 to fix things, but where can I define the broadcast address from the web interface? to add some info: I set my static ip as : 10.10.0.100, /24 subnet gateway as 10.10.0.1 Logically, it should calculate the broadcast address to be 10.10.0.255, but for some reason, it sets it to 0.0.0.0 I didn't realize it at first, and the machine just lost network connectivity (plex not working, app updates just called up the last cached version, etc)... until I went to console and checked (and corrected) with ifconfig. Any thoughts and suggestions welcomed. Thanks Edited March 2, 20224 yr by ysss
March 2, 20224 yr Author Solution Found out what was causing the problem... The ARP table on my managed switch has that particular ip set as static for another mac address (previous server)... after I cleared that mac address entry, everything is working as expected.
