Important Considerations
You assign the broadcast address on a per-interface basis.
When an IP interface is configured, its default broadcast address is
255.255.255.255
The broadcast address that you specify affects the RIP advertisement
address that is used for the RIP interface. You see the specified
broadcast address as the advertisement address under the RIP menus.
See "ip rip display" later in this chapter for information about the RIP
interface display.
You cannot change the broadcast address for an interface if you have
added any RIP advertisement addresses to that interface. See "ip rip
addAdvertisement" later in this chapter for more information.
