IP HELPER ADDRESS

ip helper-address

Overview This command adds a forwarding destination address for IP Helper to enable
forwarding of User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts on an interface.
Use the no variant of this command to disable the forwarding of broadcast packets
to specific addresses.
Syntax ip helper-address <ip-addr>
no ip helper-address <ip-addr>
Default The destination address for the ip helper-address command is not configured by
default.
Mode Interface Configuration for a VLAN interface, a local loopback interface, or a PPP
interface.
Usage Combined with the
mode, the ip helper-address command in interface mode allows control of which
protocols (destination port numbers) are forwarded. The ip forward-protocol
udp command configures protocols for forwarding, and the ip helper-address
command configures the destination address(es).
The destination address can be a unicast address or a subnet broadcast address.
The UDP destination port is configured separately with the ip forward-protocol
udp command. If multiple destination addresses are registered then UDP packets
are forwarded to each IP address added to an IP Helper. Up to 32 destination
addresses may be added using IP Helper.
The device will only forward the types of UDP broadcast packets that are specified
by the ip forward-protocol command(s). The device does not forward any other
UDP packet types by default.
The ip helper-address command does not support BOOTP / DHCP Relay. The
service dhcp-relay
configure UDP ports 67 and 68 with the ip forward-protocol command.
See the
DHCP Relay.
