set service-profile no-broadcast

Disables or reenables the no-broadcast mode. The no-broadcast mode helps reduce traffic

overhead on an SSID by having more SSID bandwidth available for unicast traffic. The

no-broadcast mode also helps VoIP handsets conserve power by reducing the amount of broadcast

traffic sent to the phones.

When enabled, the no-broadcast mode prevents MP radios from sending DHCP or ARP broadcasts

to clients on the service profile SSID. Instead, an MP radio processes the traffic as follows:

● ARP requests—If the SSID has clients with IP addresses that the MX does not already know,

the MX allows the MP radio to send the ARP request as a unicast to only those stations with

unknown addresses on the MX. The MP radio does not forward the ARP request as a

broadcast and does not send the request as a unicast to stations whose addresses the MX

already knows.

● DHCP Offers or Acks—If the destination MAC address belongs to a client on the SSID, the

MP radio sends the DHCP Offer or Ack as a unicast to that client only.

The no-broadcast mode does not affect other types of broadcast traffic and does not prevent clients

from sending broadcasts.

Syntax

set service-profile name no-broadcast {enable | disable}

Defaults

The no-broadcast mode is disabled by default. (Broadcast traffic not disabled.)

Access

Enabled.

History

Introduced in MSS Version 4.2.

Usage

To further reduce ARP traffic on a service profile, use the set service-profile proxy-arp

command to enable Proxy ARP.

Examples

The following command enables the no-broadcast mode on service profile sp1:

MX# set service-profile sp1 no-broadcast enable

success: change accepted.
