Example of Enabling UDP Helper and Using the UDP Helper show Command
Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)#ip udp-helper udp-port 1000
Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)#show config
!
interface GigabitEthernet 1/1
ip address 2.1.1.1/24
ip udp-helper udp-port 1000
no shutdown
To view the interfaces and ports on which you enabled UDP helper, use the show ip udp-helper command from EXEC Privilege
mode.
Dell#show ip udp-helper

Conguring a Broadcast Address
To congure a broadcast address, use the following command.
• Congure a broadcast address on an interface.
ip udp-broadcast-address
Examples of Conguring and Viewing a Broadcast Address
Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#ip udp-broadcast-address 1.1.255.255
Dell(conf-if-vl-100)#show config
!
interface Vlan 100
ip address 1.1.0.1/24
ip udp-broadcast-address 1.1.255.255
untagged GigabitEthernet 1/2
no shutdown
To view the congured broadcast address for an interface, use show interfaces command.
Dell#show interfaces vlan 100

Congurations Using UDP Helper
When you enable UDP helper and the destination IP address of an incoming packet is a broadcast address, Dell Networking OS suppresses
the destination address of the packet.
The following sections describe various congurations that employ UDP helper to direct broadcasts.
• UDP Helper with Broadcast-All Addresses
• UDP Helper with Subnet Broadcast Addresses
• UDP Helper with Congured Broadcast Addresses
• UDP Helper with No Congured Broadcast Addresses
