Configure a UDP protocol:

ip forward-protocol udp <1–65535> WORD<1–15>
Confirm your configuration:

show ip forward-protocol udp interface [vrf WORD<1-16>]|[vrfids WORD<0-512>] portfwd [vrf WORD<1-16>]| [vrfids WORD<0-512>] portfwdlist <1–1000>[vrf WORD<1-16>]|[vrfids WORD<0-512>] vrf WORD<1-16> vrfids WORD<0-512>

Example

Configure a UDP protocol and confirm your configuration.

Switch:1>enable
