<samba:parameter name="remote announce"

<description>
<para>This option allows you to setup <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>to periodically announce itself
to arbitrary IP addresses with an arbitrary workgroup name.</para>
<para>This is useful if you want your Samba server to appear
in a remote workgroup for which the normal browse propagation
rules don't work. The remote workgroup can be anywhere that you
can send IP packets to.</para>
<para>For example:</para>
<para><command moreinfo="none">remote announce = 192.168.2.255/SERVERS
192.168.4.255/STAFF</command></para>
<para>the above line would cause <command moreinfo="none">nmbd</command> to announce itself
to the two given IP addresses using the given workgroup names.
If you leave out the workgroup name then the one given in
the <link linkend="WORKGROUP"><parameter moreinfo="none">workgroup</parameter></link>
parameter is used instead.</para>
<para>The IP addresses you choose would normally be the broadcast
addresses of the remote networks, but can also be the IP addresses
of known browse masters if your network config is that stable.</para>
<para>See <link linkend="NetworkBrowsing"/>.</para>
