TCP/IP

Values 

String (in the form of an IP address)

Default 

Broadcasts to all addresses on the same subnet

Description 

BROADCAST specifies the IP address used by your TCP/IP protocol implementation to identify a broadcast message.

Broadcast addresses consist of the network IP address portion, with 255 as the remaining integers. For example

• if the network portion is 95 (class A), then the broadcast address would be 95.255.255.255

• if the network portion is 132.10 (class B), then the broadcast address would be 132.10.255.255

• if the network portion is 197.31.175 (class C), then the broadcast address would be 197.31.175.255

The broadcast IP address 255.255.255.255 broadcasts to all subnets.
