set service-profile no-broadcast
Disables or reenables the no-broadcast mode. The no-broadcast mode helps reduce traffic
overhead on an SSID by leaving more of an SSID’s bandwidth available for unicast traffic. The
no-broadcast mode also helps VoIP handsets conserve power by reducing the amount of
broadcast traffic sent to the phones.
When enabled, the no-broadcast mode prevents AP radios from sending DHCP or ARP broadcasts
to clients on the service profile’s SSID. Instead, an AP radio handles this traffic as follows:
The no-broadcast mode does not affect other types of broadcast traffic and does not prevent
clients from sending broadcasts.
Syntax: set service-profile
name
no-broadcast {enable | disable}
• ARP requests—If the SSID has clients whose IP addresses the DWL-1008 does
not already know, the DWS-1008 allows the DWS-8220AP to send the ARP
request as a unicast to only those stations whose addresses the DWS-1008
does not know. The AP does not forward the ARP request as a broadcast and
does not send the request as a unicast to stations whose addresses the DWS-
1008 already knows.
• DHCP Offers or Acks—If the destination MAC address belongs to a client on the
SSID, the AP sends the DHCP Offer or Ack as a unicast to that client only.
