In addition, you can specify any UDP application by using the application's UDP port number.
The <udp-port-num> parameter specifies the UDP application port number. If the application you
want to enable is not listed above, enter the application port number. You also can list the port
number for any of the applications listed above.
To disable forwarding for an application, enter a command such as the following.
BigIron RX(config)# no ip forward-protocol udp snmp
Syntax: [no] ip forward-protocol udp snmp
This command disables forwarding of SNMP requests to the helper addresses configured on device
interfaces.
Configuring an IP helper address
To forward a client's broadcast request for a UDP application when the client and server are on
different networks, you must configure a helper address on the interface connected to the client.
Specify the server's IP address or the subnet directed broadcast address of the IP subnet the
server is in as the helper address.
You can configure up to 16 helper addresses on each interface. You can configure a helper
address on an Ethernet port or a virtual interface.
To configure a helper address on interface 2 on chassis module 1, enter the following commands.
BigIron RX(config)# interface e 1/2
BigIron RX(config-if-e1000-1/2)# ip helper-address 207.95.7.6
The commands in this example change the CLI to the configuration level for port 1/2, then add a
helper address for server 207.95.7.6 to the port. If the port receives a client request for any of the
applications that the device is enabled to forward, the device forwards the client's request to the
server.
Syntax: ip helper-address <ip-addr>
The <ip-addr> command specifies the server's IP address or the subnet directed broadcast
address of the IP subnet the server is in.
