Appendix A: BACnet IP Networks

BACnet IP Network Types

Single IP Subnet

In BACnet/IP networks with only IP subnet (IP domain), 

broadcast messages from a device (ex. 172.16.255.255 or 

0xBAC0) are sent to all other subnet members as IP broadcasts 

without requiring any additional configuration.

DHCP Networks

BACnet IP networks with DHCP use a server (typically a router 

or gateway) to automatically request network configuration 

parameters, such as IP addresses, to all devices.  DHCP-

enabled networks eliminate the need for a user to configure 

these settings manually since IP Addresses and other 

parameters are determined dynamically by the server. 

There are several important aspects to consider with DHCP-

enabled networks:

Aspect

Considerations

BBMDs

DHCP 

can not 

be used together with BBMDs, 

as the IP addresses are configured as static 

addresses and cannot change during operation.

Alarm 

recipient

In BACnet, alarm recipients are entered with 

their “Device Object Identifier” or their BACnet 

address. The IP address is part of the BACnet 

address and may not be changed for the alarm 

recipient. For this reason, option “Device Object 

Identifier” must always be used.

Access 

rights

If access rights are assigned based on IP 

address, such as firewalls, the address must 

be static. Access rights are based off of the 

UDP Port Number (ex. UDP 47808) or the MAC 

Address of the BACnet communication module.

IP version

The BACnet communication module supports 

IP Version 4, (i.e. IP devices with 32 bit 

addresses). 

Multiple IP Subnets

A BACnet/IP network may consist of multiple IP subnets 

assigned the same BACnet network number. In this case, 

a BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device) allows 

broadcasts to be transmitted to all other BBMDs on the BACnet 

network.  BBMDs allow devices on one network to distribute 

broadcasts, or communicate, across multiple subnets. A 

BBMD also provides for foreign device registration. This allows 

a device on one network to communicate with a device on 

another network by using the BBMD to forward and route the 

messages.

The BACnet communication module can be registered as 

a BBMD device. This is done by registering the IP Address 

and subnet mask of the communication module as a Foreign 

Device with the BBMD.
