Question about broadcast traffic across vLans
I have a question about vlans and broadcast traffic.
I have two vLans setup vlan70 and vlan75. I have a route between them so they can communicate with each other.
They both have different /24 subnets so broadcast traffic on vlan70 would be 192.168.50.255 and on vlan75 192.168.60.255
If I do a "ping 192.168.60.255 -b" (broadcast) from a linux machine on on vlan70 (192.168.50.47/24) should I see the broadcasts on vlan75?

Yes you would see it. You're performing an ip-directed broadcast by sending that ping from another subnet.

Perhaps the broadcast flag changes it to pure broadcast destination of 255.255.255.255
