zUDP Helper Configuration Example
Note:
zBy default, S5500-SI series Ethernet switches do not forward IP broadcast packets.
So, to utilize the UDP Helper function, you need to execute the ip
forward-broadcast command in system view first. For details, refer to the IP
Address and Performance part of the manual.
zCurrently, interface-related configurations concerning the UDP Helper function can
only be performed on VLAN interfaces.
1.1 Introduction to UDP Helper
UDP Helper makes the device to function as a relay that converts UDP broadcast
packets into unicast packets and forwards them to a specified server.
With UDP Helper enabled, the device decides whether to forward a received UDP
broadcast packet according to the UDP port number of the packet. If the packet needs
to be forwarded, the device modifies the destination IP address in the IP header and
then sends the packet to the specified destination server. Otherwise, the device passes
the packet to the upper layer for the packet to be processed.
With UDP Helper enabled, the device relays broadcast packets of six default UDPports
by default. The default UDP ports are listed in Table 1-1.
Table 1-1 List of default UDP ports
Protocol UDP port number
TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) 69
DNS (domain name system) 53
Time service 37
NetBIOS-NS (NetBIOS name service) 137

Caution:
zThe 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.
zWhen you view the configuration information by using the display
current-configuration command, the UDP Helper configuration on default UDP
ports is not displayed. The UDP Helper configuration of a default UDP port is
displayed only when UDP Helper is disabled on the port.
zThe configuration of all UDP ports (including the default ports) is removed if you
disabled UDP Helper.
zYou can configure up to 256 UDP ports that require relaying and forwarding.
zYou can configure up to 20 destination servers at an interface.
zIf the destination server is configured on a VLAN interface, the broadcast packets
from a VLAN port to a specific UDP port will be unicast to the destination server
configured on that VLAN interface after UDP Helper is enabled.

1.4 UDP Helper Configuration Example
I. Network requirements
The VLAN interface of a device has an IP address of 10.110.1.1/16, connecting to
network segment 10.110.0.0/16. Specify to forward broadcast packets with destination
UDP port 55 to destination server 202.38.1.2/24.

Note:
The following configuration assumes that the route between the device and the network
segment 202.38.0.0/24 is reachable.
# Enable UDP Helper.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] udp-helper enable
# Specify to forward the broadcast packets with destination UDP port being 55.
[Sysname] udp-helper port 55
# Specify the server with the IPaddress of 202.38.1.2 as the destination server to which
UDP broadcast packets are to be forwarded.
[Sysname] interface Vlan-interface 1
[Sysname-Vlan-interface1] ip address 10.110.1.1 16
