Usage guidelines
A directed broadcast packet is destined for all hosts on a specific network. In the destination IP
address of the directed broadcast, the network ID identifies the target network, and the host ID is
made up of all ones.
This command enables an interface to forward directed broadcasts destined for the directly
connected network.
Hackers can exploit directed broadcasts to attack the target network. In some scenarios, however,
an interface must send such directed broadcast packets to support features such as UDP helper and
Wake on LAN.
Examples
# Enable VLAN-interface 2 to forward directed broadcast packets destined for the directly connected
network.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2
[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] ip forward-broadcast
