UDP Helper with Broadcast-all Addresses<br />

When the destination IP address of an incoming packet is the IP broadcast address, FTOS rewrites the<br />

address to match the configured broadcast address.<br />

In Figure 251:<br />

1. Packet 1 is dropped at ingress if no UDP helper address is configured.<br />

2. If UDP helper (using the command ip udp-helper udp-port) is enabled, and the UDP destination port<br />

of the packet matches the UDP port configured, the system changes the destination address to the<br />

configured broadcast 1.1.255.255 and routes the packet to VLANs 100 and 101. If an IP broadcast<br />

address is not configured (using the command ip udp-broadcast-address) on VLANs 100 or 101, the<br />

packet is forwarded using the original destination destination IP address 255.255.255.255.<br />

Packet 2, sent from a host on VLAN 101 has a broadcast MAC address and IP address. In this case:<br />

1. It is flooded on VLAN 101 without changing the destination address because the forwarding process is<br />

Layer 2.<br />

2. If UDP helper is enabled, the system changes the destination IP address to the configured broadcast<br />

address 1.1.255.255 and forwards the packet to VLAN 100.<br />

3. Packet 2 is also forwarded to the ingress interface with an unchanged destination address because it<br />

does not have broadcast address configured.<br />

UDP Helper with Subnet Broadcast Addresses<br />

When the destination IP address of an incoming packet matches the subnet broadcast address of any<br />

interface, the system changes the address to the configured broadcast address and sends it to matching<br />

interface.
