UNSOLVED
IP Netdirbcast
Hi All,
Can someone please explain to me how this command works? My scenario is that i have an SCCM primary site server in a different site and i need Wake on Lan working.
I can use SCCM to wake my devices with the command configured on the int vlan's, but i am worried that it also then will enable PC broadcasts to traverse subnets, is this the case with this command?
With Cisco, i think you can configure redirected broadcasts and also use a source IP or ACL to only allow that one to be forwarded. Is this at all possible on the Powerconnect 6248?
Thanks
WOL seems to be working to the best of it's ability, where PC's actually respond to the packet.
And from what I could tell, broadcast traffic was contained within each subnet, ARPs from PC's remained within their network and WOL packets from SCCM went to the correct subnets and not the others.

Thanks for the response, after enabling this on each VLAN i then ran wireshark on two PC's in separate subnets.
The results; Netbios broadcasts from PC's were contained within their VLANs and i WOL broadcast sent to PC's in one subnet was not seen in another. I am hoping this is correct, i have not been able to get ACL's working to prevent unwanted access to SSH onto the switch let alone this!
A simple deny any any and placed under an int vlan config with ip access-list 1 in - will not prevent SSH access, i can still remote in!
I have been able to do this quite easily on a Cisco.
