C9500-24Y4C-E IP DIRECTED BROADCAST supported in Essentials?

[NeverOutofTune]

Cisco Feature Navigator states "VRF aware IP DIRECTED BROADCAST" is only supported in Advantage. Can someone with Essentials confirm if IP DIRECTED BROADCAST is supported on a VSI (no VRF support required)?

This has been available in the lowest level feature sets such as IPBASE in the past.

I think you can run IP direct broadcast.

Yes, thanks.  I know the IP DIRECT-BROADCAST command is avalilable on the 9500 platform but what is unclear if this requires the Advantage license or is it supported with the cheaper, Essentials license.
