8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information
If you congure the ip helper-address command and ip udp-helper udp-port command, the
behavior is that the UDP broadcast trac with port numbers 67/68 is unicast relayed to the DHCP server per the
ip helper-address conguration. This occurs regardless if the ip udp-helper udp-port command
contains port numbers 67/68 or not.
If you only congure the ip udp-helper udp-port command, all the UDP broadcast trac is ooded,
including ports 67/68 trac if those ports are part of the udp-port-list.
