IP Directed Broadcast Feature

You can enable forwarding of IP-directed broadcasts on an interface where the broadcast
becomes a physical (MAC-layer) broadcast. Only those protocols configured by using the ip
forward-protocol global configuration command are forwarded.
An access list can be specified to control which broadcasts are forwarded. In that scenario,
only those IP packets permitted by the access list are eligible to be translated from directed
broadcasts to physical broadcasts.
The procedure included in this document will assist you with enabling the IP Directed
Broadcast feature, which in turn will be used by the network discovery feature used by the
One Point Wireless Manager™ application. This information is also included in the document
Instructions for Enabling the IP Directed Broadcast Feature.pdf located in the Documentation
folder on the WMS deliverable CD.

Enabling the IP Directed Broadcast Feature

The procedure listed below will walk you through enabling the forwarding of IP-directed
broadcasts on an interface. It is meant to be followed by beginning it in privileged EXEC
mode.
NOTE: All blue text in the table below indicates the configuration that would be needed when
using Motorola's default small system reference design configuration.
