ip udp-bcast-forward

[Carsten M]

Hi!
If the command "ip udp-bcast-forward" is really required to be able to use the command "-protocol udp < ip-address >
< port-number | port-name >"?

My configuration looks up to now thus and
works:
ip routing
vlan 21
name "QS"
ip helper-address 172.16.100.206
ip forward-protocol udp 172.16.100.206 4011
ip forward-protocol udp 172.16.100.206 tftp
ip address 172.16.21.1 255.255.255.0
exit

Which function has "ip udp-bcast-forward"?

[OLARU Dan · Accepted solution]

"Syntax [no] ip udp-bcast-forward. Enables or disables UDP broadcast forwarding on the router. Routing must be enabled before executing this command."

Quoted from this:

Hi Olaru Dan!

The routing is or was on. The question is, Why must I give the order " ip-udp-bcast- forward " if already the order " ip forward-protocol udp is sufficient 172.16.100.206 4011 " to the activation of the function?
