z
You need to enable UDP Helper before specifying any UDP port to match UDP broadcasts;
otherwise, the configuration fails. When the UDP helper function is disabled, all configured UDP
ports are disabled, including the default ports.
z
The dns, netbios-ds, netbios-ns, tacacs, tftp, and time keywords correspond to the six default
ports. You can configure the default ports by specifying port numbers or the corresponding
parameters. For example, udp-helper port 53 and udp-helper port dns specify the same port.
z
You can specify up to 20 destination server addresses on a VLAN interface.
z
If UDP Helper is enabled after a destination server is configured for a VLAN interface, the
broadcasts from interfaces belonging to the VLAN and having a matching UDP port will be unicast
to the destination server.
