You can enable forwarding of IP-directed broadcasts on an interface where the broadcast 
becomes a physical (MAC-layer) broadcast. Only those protocols configured by using the ip 
forward-protocol 

global configuration command are forwarded.  

An access list can be specified to control which broadcasts are forwarded. In that scenario, 
only those IP packets permitted by the access list are eligible to be translated from directed 
broadcasts to physical broadcasts.    

 

The procedure included in this document will assist you with enabling the IP Directed 
Broadcast feature, which in turn will be used by the network discovery feature used by the 
One Point Wireless Manager™ application. This information is also included in the document 
Instructions for Enabling the IP Directed Broadcast Feature.pdf  located in the Documentation 
folder on the WMS deliverable CD. 

The procedure listed below will walk you through enabling the forwarding of IP-directed 
broadcasts on an interface. It is meant to be followed by beginning it in privileged EXEC 
mode.    

: All blue text in the table below indicates the configuration that would be needed when 

using Motorola’s default small system reference design configuration.
