Precautions ■ On a Switch 5500, the reception of directed broadcast packets to a directly
connected network is disabled by default, but this feature must be enabled
with the ip forward-broadcast command in system view before you can enable
UDP Helper. For details about the ip forward-broadcast command, refer to “IP
Addressing Configuration” and “IP Performance Configuration” in the
Configuration Guide for your product.
■ You need to enable UDP Helper before specifying any UDP port to match UDP
broadcasts; otherwise, error information is displayed. When the UDP helper
function is disabled, all the specified UDP ports are disabled, including the
default ports.
■ You can specify up to 20 destination server addresses on a VLAN interface.
