Right this from what I can see is an expert thread. If you don't know the information in your head as standard I'd prefer you didn't answer, I'm Stuck at work with this problem and its causing me great hassle. I'm NO network engineer - i'm a developer but I need to get something organised and i'd appreciate some help on this...
I've got a setup here with 2 kilostreams with Cisco Routers at the end of each line, (4 in total) Its on a small /28 subnet
which gives me addresses from 193.132.46.32 to 193.132.46.47
Using the subnet calculator this tells me the network address is 193.132.46.32 and the broadcast address is 193.132.46.47. Now I'm being told by the company the other side that we can use the broadcast address to put an application on, as we are using 1:1 Nat.
All of the above I understand, and I think I understand that the broadcast address is if you want to speak to all the subnet?. I can't imagine any reason we would want to do this. So can you run subnets without broadcast addresses?, or will this screw stuff up, because i'm between internal people saying NO and external people (customers) saying yes.
I've got to get this sorted ASAP as its going to cause me nightmares otherwise. Level of experience here is up to setting up our Dev cisco 515E pix. So i'm familiar with acl's etc.
However my knowledge here is lacking any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
