NoteHKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<interface-name>
| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Determines whether IP uses zeros broadcasts or ones broadcasts. Most systems use ones broadcasts, but some systems, such as those derived from BSD implementations, use zeros broadcasts. Systems that use different broadcasts will not interoperate well on the same network.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Uses ones broadcasts. The ones local broadcast address is 255.255.255.255 |
| 1 | Uses zeros broadcasts. The zeros local broadcast address is 0.0.0.0. |
Note
Please note that a value of 1 is associated with the zeros broadcast and a value of 0 is associated with the ones broadcast. A value of 1 overrides the default behavior of the system and requires that it use a zeros broadcast.
