I would like to disable directed broadcast but have been unable to find how it might be disabled for all interfaces. Is there a command to achieve this?

@Jakob-AHHG and @sbabu  directed broadcast I mean a broadcast to the whole subnet (not entire network).

HI @jefazo92 

If you have a broadcast IP address you can create a firewall policy with deny action and place it top of allow rule.
