It's been enabled by default for years now. And as the docs state, it kills
any incoming subnet-level broadcast to not forward it onto the segment. So
if your network is 10.10.10.0/24, you can't send traffic through the router
to 10.10.10.255 unless you re-enable "ip directed-broadcast".
Rarely will you want to enable it, and generally if you do, the DocCD will
mention its requirement (e.g. multicast-broadcast conversion).

Hi GS,
Can someone explain how this command "ip directed-broadcast" works & in
