Disables or reenables the no-broadcast mode. The no-broadcast mode helps reduce traffic overhead on an SSID by leaving more of an SSID’s 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 AP radios from sending DHCP or ARP broadcasts to clients on the service profile’s SSID. Instead, an AP radio handles this traffic as follows:

ARP requests—If the SSID has clients whose IP addresses the DWL-1008 does not already know, the DWS-1008 allows the DWS-8220AP to send the ARP request as a unicast to only those stations whose addresses the DWS-1008 does not know. The AP does not forward the ARP request as a broadcast and does not send the request as a unicast to stations whose addresses the DWS- 1008 already knows.

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