Usage guidelines

This command enables the DHCP server to ignore the broadcast flag in DHCP requests and broadcast all responses.

The DHCP server always unicasts a response in the following situations, regardless of whether this command is executed:

• The DHCP request is from a DHCP client that has an IP address (the ciaddr field is not 0).

• The DHCP request is forwarded by a DHCP relay agent from a DHCP client (the giaddr field is not 0).
