UDP-Helper Configuration Commands
1-4
Description
Use the
udp-helper port
command to specify a UDP-Helper destination port.
Use the
undo udp-helper port
command to disable a port from being a UDP-Helper
destination port.
With UDP-Helper enabled, UDP broadcast packets with their destination port being the
six default UDP ports (that is, port 69, 53, 37, 137, 138, and 49) are forwarded to the
configured destination servers by default. After the UDP-Helper function is disabled, all
the configured UDP-Helper destination ports are cancelled, including the default UDP
ports.
Note that before configuring
udp-helper port
, you must enable UDP-Helper.
Example
# Configure the DNS UDP port as a UDP-Helper destination port.

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
