Specifies how the server reacts to broadcasts.

Syntax

{ dbsrv11 | dbeng11 } -sb { 0 | 1 } ...

Applies to

TCP/IP

Remarks

Using -sb 0 causes the server not to start up any UDP broadcast listeners. In addition to forcing clients to use the DoBroadcast=NONE and HOST= options to connect to the server, this option causes the server to be unlisted when using dblocate.

Using -sb 1 causes the server to not respond to broadcasts from dblocate, while leaving connection logic unaffected. You can connect to the server by specifying LINKS=tcpip and ENG=name.
