    Configure IP Directed Broadcast

    Let us learn to configure IP directed broadcast. IP directed broadcast is supported on an ION device as Incoming and Outgoing interface.
    Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
    • Prisma SD-WAN (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
    • Prisma SD-WAN
    Traffic from remote networks can be broadcast over LAN networks through Layer 3 LAN interfaces. Traffic can be broadcast for a subnet connected to an interface through the broadcast address of that subnet.
    IP directed broadcast is supported on an ION device as follows:
    • Incoming interface—Prisma SD-WAN VPN (Private or Public from a branch site or a data center site)
    • Outgoing interface—Layer 3 LAN interface
    IP Directed Broadcast is not supported if:
    • A Zone-Based Policy Firewall (ZBFW) is in use for non-UDP traffic.
    • NAT is applied on the Layer 3 LAN interface.
    1. Select ConfigurationPrisma SD-WANION DevicesClaimed, and select the device you want to configure.
    2. Navigate to Interfaces, and select a port for configuring IP directed broadcast.
    3. In the Network Settings section:
      1. For Use This Port For, select LAN.
      2. For IPv4 Configuration, select Static.
      3. For the IP Address Mask field, enter a subnet address.
      4. For Directed Broadcast, select Yes to enable.
      5. The Direct Broadcast is disabled by default.
      6. Select Enable IPv6 On This Interface to configure IPv6.
      7. For IPv6 Configuration, select AutoConf or Static.
        Autoconf indicates the Global IP address is derived using stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC).
        Choose Static if the IP address is fixed and is manually assigned. Additionally specify the IPv6 Address/Mask, Default Gateway (IPv6), and DNS server(s)(IPv6).
    4. Save Port.
    5. Navigate to ActivityFlows to check responses to an IP directed broadcast.
