If the BACnet/IP device didn't support BBMD or Foreign Mode, it would require another BACnet/IP device that supports BBMD. There is an example of using the defines to build the example...

BACnet BBMD vs Foreign Device

Thanks Steve.

Thanks for the reply Steve! Does that mean it is OK to reply Unicast to a Who-Is which has come from a specific host? And the only first I-Am to be sent as broadcast and rest we can handle by Unicast?

Response to Who-Is always sent as Local Broadcast in the I-Am response
