what is network 8 on my ethernet connection?

Main Post: what is network 8 on my ethernet connection?

Forum: answers.microsoft.com

/8 vs /24

Main Post:

I have been using some raspberry pi's for program transfer devices for some out of date cnc equipment(can't have windows xp on the network) I am just using the usb otg as a thumb drive then using samba to move files on and off of them. The network is windows based.

I have found that when I set the IP to /8 on the raspberry pi I can only access the devices when connected to the the network with a physical ethernet connection, and when I set it to /24 it becomes accessible to the wireless as well. I was under the impression that the network was in control of this, not the Pi, but apparently I was mistaken.

EDIT: This device has a static ip address and only the /8 or /24 on the end is changed. and this device is connected over a wifi that was set up for shop floor equipment and not the wifi I typically run on.

In the simplest terms, what's going on here? Sorry to ask what is probably a very basic question without enough background info, but I typically do automation with very simple networking and no security to speak of. Thank you

Top Comment: Slash notation is formally called CIDR notation, and is a type of subnet mask notation. Your Pi probably has the DHCP pool set to work in a /24 range, meaning the final octet of the IP address. When you set it to /8, the usable IP range goes from 254 addresses to (254^2)^2 (this math may be wrong) because of the usable IP range being the final 3 octets. The reason that you can connect with a wired connection is probably due to the LAN port being pre-assigned by the DHCP server, but the wireless won't be aware of the rest of the address range.

UniFi Network Native Application for UniFi OS

A specific application version that is only compatible with the UDM, UDR, Express, UCG-Ultra and UCG-Max (running UniFi OS 3.1.6 or newer).

  • The UniFi OS update uses the application version that is required for your console.
  • The manual update process via SSH requires you to use the compatible package. Incompatible packages will be rejected on installation.
  • Older UniFi OS versions (before UniFi OS 3.1.6) on the UDM and UDR still use regular UniFi Network Application for UniFi OS.

Top Comment: It would be nice if you referenced that the RF scan has moved in app. I had to spend a long time to figure it our on my own. For the people in my shoes, you now go to Radios - The AP you wish to scan - and Airtime scan
