date_range 21-May-24

Syntax

content_copy zoom_out_map
broadcast address;

Hierarchy Level

content_copy zoom_out_map
[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.

Note:

The edit logical-systems hierarchy is not available on QFabric systems.
