directedBroadcast
Specifies whether the forwarding of a directed broadcast (all 1s in the
host portion of the address) is enabled or disabled for a specified
interface on a Multilayer Switching Module. A
directed broadcast
is a
packet that is sent to a specific network or series of networks.
Valid Minimum Abbreviation
ip i di
Important Considerations
■
You define the directed broadcast state on a per-interface basis.
■
When the state is
enabled
and the module determines that the
destination is different from the interface that is receiving the directed
broadcast, the module uses the broadcast address that is defined for
this interface to forward the directed broadcast.
■
You can disable the forwarding of a directed broadcast if security is an
issue.
■
By default, the directed broadcast state is
enabled
.
