if there is no broacast address in /etc/network/
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.252
netmask 255.255.255.0
ifup bring the interface up with 0.0.0.0 as broadcast address
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:29:a4:d3:b7
inet adr:192.168.1.252 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Masque:
adr inet6: fe80::20c:
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
ifup runs
ip addr add 192.168.
adding broadcast 192.168.1.255 to /etc/network/
ifup runs
ip addr add 192.168.
previously (using ifconfig), the broadcast address was correctly set via
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
whithout requiring to set this address in /etc/network/
