setting up a subnet with /25 give the broadcast ip to a client?

I have this setup:

address: address = 192.168.175.1/25 network = 192.168.175.0
pool: addresses = 192.168.175.0/25
dhcp-server - networks: address=192.168.175.0/25 gateway 192.168.175.1

somehow the dhcp server gave to a client the broadcast address 192.168.175.127

i’m using 6.33.3

where is my mistake above? (i’m sure it is obvious … )

And what broadcast address were you expecting?

Oh. You maybe meant the client received 127 as its address… If so, set the pool like “192.168.175.2-192.168.175.126”.

really?

i was under the impression that the dhcp server would know not to give some ip
