Cabletron SmartSwitch Router (Yago/SSR) directed-broadcast is off by default but may be enabled. Search the router config file for the string "ip enable directed-broadcast" and remove it from the config file if found. For example:

grep "ip enable directed-broadcast" router_config

will find the string if present and a text editor can be used to remove the command from the config file.

To remove it from the running system:

log in to the console or a telnet port

telnet router
