If the IndirectData option is also set, broadcast packets will only be sent to nodes which we have a meta connection to.
@end table
@cindex BroadcastSubnet
@item BroadcastSubnet = @var{address}[/@var{prefixlength}]
Declares a broadcast subnet.
Any packet with a destination address falling into such a subnet will be routed as a broadcast
(provided all nodes have it declared).
This is most useful to declare subnet broadcast addresses (e.g. 10.42.255.255),
otherwise tinc won't know what to do with them.
Note that global broadcast addresses (MAC ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, IPv4 255.255.255.255),
as well as multicast space (IPv4 224.0.0.0/4, IPv6 ff00::/8)
are always considered broadcast addresses and don't need to be declared.
@cindex ConnectTo
@item ConnectTo = <@var{name}>
Specifies which other tinc daemon to connect to on startup.

Note that you can only use one device per daemon.
See also @ref{Device files}.
@cindex DeviceStandby
@item DeviceStandby = <yes | no> (no)
When disabled, tinc calls @file{tinc-up} on startup, and @file{tinc-down} on shutdown.
When enabled, tinc will only call @file{tinc-up} when at least one node is reachable,
and will call @file{tinc-down} as soon as no nodes are reachable.
On Windows, this also determines when the virtual network interface "cable" is "plugged".
@cindex DeviceType
@item DeviceType = <@var{type}> (platform dependent)
The type of the virtual network device.
