Unfortunately, some devices, +in particular Cisco's Nexus series of switches, drop such DHCP reply packets +with the broadcast bit in the flags field of the DHCP message header set. +Thi means that some operating systems, in particular Microsoft Windows Vista, +can have problems getting DHCP to work in such environments. If you enable +this flag, the DHCP server will never set the broadcast flags in the replies +it sends, even if the client set the broadcast flag. This flag overrides +the never-broadcast flag if both are set. |
