ip directed-broadcast
Enables or disables IP directed broadcasts routed through the switch. An IP directed broadcast is an IP
datagram that has all zeros or all 1’s in the host portion of the destination address. The packet is sent to the
broadcast address of a subnet to which the sender is not directly attached.

Platforms Supported

Usage Guidelines
Directed broadcasts are used in denial-of-service “smurf” attacks. In a smurf attack, a continuous stream of
ping requests are sent from a falsified source address to a directed broadcast address, resulting in a large
stream of replies, which can overload the host of the source address. By default, the switch drops directed
broadcasts. Typically, directed broadcasts should not be enabled.
Examples
-> ip directed-broadcast off
