UDP Commands
Some network applications, such as the NetBIOS name service, rely on a User
Data Protocol (UDP) broadcast to request a service or to locate a service. By
default, broadcasts are not forwarded by a router. UDP broadcast forwarding is a
generalized mechanism for the router to selectively forward UDP broadcasts.
The basic procedure for setting up UDP broadcast forwarding is:
• Use the
config ip udpfwd protocol commands to enter protocols in a
protocol table.
• Use the
config ip udpfwd portfwdlist commands to create and name the
port forward list and assign protocols and servers to the port forward list.
• Use the
config ip interface commands to apply the port forward list to the
appropriate interfaces.
The
config ip udpfwd info command displays the current UDP forwarding
configuration.
config ip udpfwd protocol Commands
The UDP forwarding protocol commands require the <udpport> parameter as the
UDP protocol port number {1..65535}.
The commands use the following syntax:
config ip udpfwd protocol <udpport>
followed by:
create <protoname> Creates a new UDP protocol.
• <protoname> is the UDP protocol name {string}.
delete Deletes a UDP port protocol.
info Displays created and/or deleted UDP protocols.
