Help: DIRECTED_BROADCAST option in Linux...

Post by Ramakrishna Venkata Go » Thu, 03 Apr 1997 04:00:00



Hi,

I want to configure my gateway (running RedHat linux 2.0.27) to
forward IP datagrams whose destination address is the directed broadcast
address of an attached interface as a link-layer broadcast. In BSD Unix
this is achieved by setting the option DIRECTED_BROADCAST to 1. Could
someone tell me how to achieve this in Linux?

Thanks,

Ramakrishna Goda.
