UDP broadcast
forwarding
The router can forward UDP broadcast packets for
UDP applications such as BootP. By forwarding the
UDP broadcasts, the router enables clients on one
sub-net to find servers attached to other sub-nets.
Note
: To completely enable a client’s UDP
application request to find a server on another sub-
net, you must configure an IP helper address
consisting of the server’s IP address or the directed
broadcast address for the sub-net that contains the
server. See the next row.
The router helps
forward broadcasts for
the following UDP
application protocols:
•
bootps
•
dns
•
netbios-dgm
•
netbios-ns
•
tacacs
•
tftp
•

IP helper
address
The IP address of a UDP application server (such as
a BootP or DHCP server) or a directed broadcast
address. IP helper addresses allow the router to
forward requests for certain UDP applications from a
client on one sub-net to a server on another sub-net.

a.Some devices have a factory default, such as 209.157.22.154, used for troubleshooting during installation.
For Layer 3 Switches, the address is on module 1 port 1 (or 1/1). NetIron Internet Backbone routers do not
have a default IP address.
