Syntax
broadcast address;
Hierarchy Level
[edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family family address address], [edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family family address address]
Description
Set the broadcast address on the network or subnet.
On a subnet you cannot specify a host address of 0 (0.0.0.0), nor
can you specify a broadcast address (255.255.255.255). For example,
in the statement set interface ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address
10.1.1.0/24, the subnet address 10.1.1.0 has the
host address of 0. Hence, you cannot configure this address. Similarly,
for the subnet, you cannot use the broadcast address 10.1.1.255/24.
Default
The default broadcast address has a host portion of all ones.
Options
address—Broadcast
address. The address must have a host portion of either all ones or
all zeros. You cannot specify the addresses 0.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.255.
The edit logical-systems hierarchy is not available
on QFabric systems.
