Note: To enable a client‘s UDP application request to find a server on another subnet,configure an IP helper address. |
The device helps
forward broadcasts for the following UDP application protocols:
|
|
IP helper address |
The IP address of a UDP application server (such as a BootP or DHCP server) or a directed broadcast address. IP helper addresses allow the device to forward requests for certain UDP applications from a client on one subnet to a server on another subnet. |
