Additional Information
I upgrade for verification from 6.3.3.14 to 6.8.1.0.
Then the "ip netdirbcast" command was automatically replaced by "ip directed-broadcast" after upgrade.
But I have not tried it with all combinations of upgrades, so we should be careful.
In the DPSearch, either of the following actions is required.
1.Once install FW 6.6 or less, configure ip netdirbcast, and then upgrade to 6.7 or later.
2.Install FW6.7 or later and replace the command when you restore the configuration.
