Broadcast

The broadcast command is used to transmit broadcast packets on a given interface. Interfaces in the base routing context or the management interface may be specified. Due the relative ease of spoofing of broadcast messages, it is strongly recommended to use authentication with broadcast mode. The messages are transmitted using a destination address that is the NTP Broadcast address. The following example enables NTP and configures the broadcast interface:

Example: MD-CLI

[ex:/configure system time ntp]
A:admin@node-2# info
    admin-state enable
    broadcast "Base" interface-name "int11" {
        version 4
        ttl 127
    }

Example: classic CLI

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