what? subnet mask /32 is reserved for broadcasting, you can't really have hosts in that. Have you try to create a scope and reseve IPs for the clients you need? You could do that but surely not give /32 subnet.

yes , this subnet mask is reserved to broadcast , but we can do this on linux .

i am sure we can do it on windows server too .

no, you cant. .255 range is set for broadcasting only. If I remember rightly you can only go up to 255.255.255.252 and you can only have 2 hosts....and beyond that its broadcasting range, although why you would go to that range is beyond me! Edited May 23, 2010 by featured_spectre

thank you so much nephilim

we can use this subnet mask 255.255.255.252

but i cant use subnet mask 255.255.255.255 , i will try to do that

 

i do that in linux and mikrotik , but in windows server there must be edit some options to accept the subnet mask 32

Using 255.255.255.252 only allows for 2 pcs to be used!!!

 

At the very least use 255.255.255.224 to allow for some expansion!
