directed broadcasts ip forward-broadcast [ acl
acl-number ] Required
Disabled by default.
NOTE:
•
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 executed
command takes effect. If the command executed last does not include acl
acl-number, the ACL
configured previously will be removed.
Configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 42 , the host's interface and VLAN-interface 3 of the switch are on the same network
segment (1.1.1.0/24). VLAN-interface 2 of Switch A and the server are on another network segment
(2.2.2.0/24). The default gateway of the host is VLAN-interface 3 (IP address 1.1.1.2/24) of Switch A.
Configure the switch so that the server can receive directed broadcasts from the host to IP address
2.2.2.255.
