ip helper-address
<address>
Use the
ip helper-address
command to configure SROS to forward User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
broadcast packets received on the interface. Use the
no
form of this command to disable forwarding
packets.
Syntax Description
< address>
Specifies the destination IP address (in dotted decimal notation) for the forwarded
UDP packets.
Default Values
By default, broadcast UDP packets are not forwarded.
Functional Notes
When used in conjunction with the
ip forward-protocol
command, the
ip helper-address
feature allows
you to customize which broadcast packets are forwarded.
To implement the helper address feature, assign a helper-address(es) (specifying the device that needs to
receive the broadcast traffic) to the interface closest to the host that transmits the broadcast packets.
When broadcast packets (of the specified type forwarded using the
ip forward-protocol
command) are
received on the interface, they will be forwarded to the device that needs the information.
Only packets meeting the following criteria are considered eligible by the
ip helper-address
feature:
1. The packet IP protocol is User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
2. Any UDP port specified using the
ip forward-protocol
command.
3. The media access control (MAC) address of the frame is an all-ones broadcast address (ffff.ffff.ffff).
4. The destination IP address is broadcast defined by all ones (255.255.255.255) or a subnet broadcast
(for example, 192.33.4.251 for the 192.33.4.248/30 subnet).
Usage Examples
The following example forwards all DNS broadcast traffic to the DNS server with IP address
192.168.5.99
:
ProCurve(config)#i
interface bvi 1
ProCurve(config)#
ip forward-protocol udp domain
ProCurve(config)#
interface bvi 1
ProCurve(config-bvi 1)#
ip helper-address 192.168.5.99
Note
The
ip helper
command must be used in conjunction with the
ip forward-protocol
command
to configure SROS to forward UDP broadcast packets. See ip forward-protocol udp <port
number> on page 412 for more information.
