-sb server option

Function 

Specify how the server reacts to broadcasts.

Syntax 

{ dbsrv9 | dbeng9 } -sb { 0 | 1} ...

Applies to 

SPX, TCP/IP

Description 

Using -sb 0 causes the server not to start up any TCP/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>.
