Usage
If you configure the ip helper-address command and ip udp-helper udp-port
Information
command, the behavior is that the UDP broadcast traffic with port numbers 67/68 is unicast
relayed to the DHCP server per the ip helper-address configuration. This occurs
regardless if the ip udp-helper udp-port command contains port numbers 67/68 or
not.
If you only configure the ip udp-helper udp-port command, all the UDP broadcast
traffic is flooded, including ports 67/68 traffic if those ports are part of the udp-port-list.
