Eth Ip Directbcast; Eth Ip Disable - Efficient Networks Router family Command Line Interface Manual

Chapter 5: Ethernet Interface Commands

eth ip directbcast

Enables or disables the forwarding of broadcast packets directed to a specific network
prefix. When forwarding is disabled, the router silently discards all packets broadcast
to a subnet. The default is off; thus, by default, all network prefix-directed broadcast
packets are discarded. This applies to all broadcast interfaces, including all Ethernet
interfaces.
A network prefix-directed broadcast address is the broadcast address to a particular
network. For example, if a network's IP address is 192.168.254.254 and its mask is
255.255.255.0, its network prefix-directed broadcast addresses are 192.168.254.0
and 192.168.254.255.
This feature is independent of the IP firewall and IP filtering features. However, it does
require that IP routing be enabled (see
