Every UDP port which will be forward requires one unique ID. Currently we
support 99 IDs!
-Example #1: To forward all broadcast packets received on `UDP port 1900` on
-`eth3`, `eth4` or `eth5` to all other interfaces in this configuration.
+Configuration
+-------------
-.. code-block:: none
+.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay id '<n>' description '<description>'
- set service broadcast-relay id 1 description 'SONOS'
- set service broadcast-relay id 1 interface 'eth3'
- set service broadcast-relay id 1 interface 'eth4'
- set service broadcast-relay id 1 interface 'eth5'
- set service broadcast-relay id 1 port '1900'
+A description can be added for each and every unique relay ID. This is usefull
+to distinguish between multiple different ports/appliactions.
-Example #2: To Forward all broadcasts packets received on `UDP port 6969` on
-`eth3` or `eth4` to the other interface in this configuration.
+.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay id '<n>' interface '<interface>'
-.. code-block:: none
+The interface used to receive and relay individual broadcast packets. If you
+want to receive/relay packets on both `eth1` and `eth2` both interfaces need
+to be added.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay id '<n>' port '<port>'
- set service broadcast-relay id 2 description 'SONOS MGMT'
- set service broadcast-relay id 2 interface 'eth3'
- set service broadcast-relay id 2 interface 'eth4'
- set service broadcast-relay id 2 port '6969'
+The UDP port number used by your apllication. It is mandatory for this kind

-Disable Instance(s)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay id '<n>' disable
Each broadcast relay instance can be individually disabled without deleting the
configured node by using the following command:
-.. code-block:: none
+.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay disable
- set service broadcast-relay id <n> disable
+In addition you can also disable the whole service without the need to remove
+it from the current configuration.
