Broadcast

The broadcast command is used to transmit broadcast packets on a specific subnet.

Use the following CLI syntax to transmit broadcast packets.

config>system>time>ntp
        broadcast [router router-name] {interface 
            ip-int-name> [key-id key-id] [version version]
            [ttl ttl]

Example: Command usage to transmit broadcast packets

config>system>time>ntp# 
    config>system>time>ntp# broadcast interface int11 version 4 
        ttl 127
    config>system>time>ntp# no shutdown

Example

The following sample configuration of the system>time context shows NTP enabled with the broadcast command configured.

A:sim1>config>system>time# info detail
----------------------------------------------
            ntp
                no shutdown
                authentication-check
                ntp-server
                broadcast interface int11 version 4 ttl 127
            exit
A:sim1>config>system>time#

Example

The following sample configuration shows NTP enabled in the config context with the broadcast command configured. At this level, the NTP broadcast commands are displayed at the end of the output after the router interfaces are shown.

A:sim1>config info
 
    ....
 
#--------------------------------------------------
echo "System Time NTP Configuration"
#--------------------------------------------------
    system
        time
            ntp
                broadcast interface toboth
            exit
