Configuring UDP broadcast forwarding

About this task

By default, routers do not forward broadcasts. UDP broadcast forwarding is a generalized mechanism for the router to selectively forward UDP broadcasts. You must set up UDP broadcast forwarding on the system. Configure UDP broadcast forwarding to forward the UDP broadcasts of network applications to the required server through physical or virtual router interfaces.
