by default a routing device and the pix also, does not brodcast traffic outside the subnet or broadcast domain, but you can configure to do that.

Im not very familiar with pix devices, but because it is a box designed to be as secure as possible, this command muts be enabled by default, but in some routers, it is not, and it is a must to enable for protect the network.

in outside interface configuration:

router(config-if)#no ip directed-broadcast

so when you do a ping for the broadcast address of a subnet or an entire subnet, you protect the responses for all the hosts belonging to that network.

Thanks for the reply.

I have been digging up as much information on this that I can.

I have found a few things that I hope someone here can clarify (because we ALL know that navigating through Cisco's site is ridiculously cumbersome).

I have discovered 2 terms that may help to shed light on my dilemma:

-network extension mode

-remote bridging

I am trying to get concise definitions now, but if anyone has any input, it would be greatly valued.

Thanks again.
