Enabling forwarding of directed broadcasts to a directly connected network
Follow these guidelines when you enable the device to forward directed broadcasts:
If an ACL is referenced in the ip forward-broadcast command, only packets permitted by the ACL can be forwarded.
If you repeatedly execute the ip forward-broadcast command on an interface, only the last command takes effect. If the command executed last does not include acl acl-number, the ACL configured previously is removed.
To enable the device to forward directed broadcasts:
Step | Command | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
1. Enter system view. | system-view | N/A |
2. Enter interface view. | interface interface-type interface-number | N/A |
3. Enable the interface to forward directed broadcasts. | ip forward-broadcast [ acl acl-number ] | Disabled by default |
