rc.conf - networking - broadcast address
I'm moving my server to a colo and have a question about what I should use for the broadcast address. The "anonymized" version of the information the new colo sent me is at the bottom of this post. I believe that the following line is what I should have in rc.conf, but I am not 100% sure about the broadcast address. Can anybody tell me if what I have is correct? Thanks much
eth0="eth0 172.16.222.126 netmask 255.255.255.252 broadcast 172.16.222.255"
gateway="default gw 176.16.222.125"
NETWORK/CIDR: 172.16.222.124/30
GATEWAY: 172.16.222.125
IP ADDRESS: 172.16.222.126
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.252

You want 172.16.222.127.
Here's a nice little guide on how to determine the address, or if you're lazy like me you can use an ip calculator.

Thank you sir. I used the measure of last resort (i.e., I actually talked with a tech guy at our colo) and indeed that is the info he gave me. I will be bookmarking those links, for sure.
