Managing UDP forwarding protocols

About this task

The switch configures the following protocols, by default:

  • Time Service

  • Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS) Service

  • Domain Name System (DNS)

  • Trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP)

  • Network Basic Input/Output System (NetBIOS) NameSrv

  • NetBIOS DataSrv

You can use these protocols to create forwarding entries and lists but you cannot delete them; you can add or remove other protocols to the list of protocols.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation tree, expand the following folders: Configuration > IP.
  2. Click UDP Forwarding.
  3. Click Insert.
  4. In the PortNumber field, type a UDP port number.

    This number defines the UDP port used by the server process as its contact port. The range is from 1 to 65535 and cannot be one of the UDP port numbers or a number previously assigned.

  5. In the Name field, type a name for the protocol.
  6. Click Insert.

    The protocol is added to the Protocol table. After you create a protocol, you cannot change its name or number.
