Important Considerations

With UDP Helper, you can send User Datagram Protocol (UDP) packets between routed networks. UDP Helper provides support for UDP services such as BOOTP and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which rely on the BOOTP relay agent.

When you configure the logical BOOTP port, you can boot hosts through the router. UDP Helper also provides a relay agent for DHCP broadcasts. UDP packets that rely on the BOOTP relay agent are modified and then forwarded through the router.

BOOTP (including DHCP) uses UDP port 67.

With UDP Helper, you can configure the amount of time that a UDP packet is forwarded between subnetworks. The system discards UDP packets based on the hop count and the seconds value only for BOOTP and DHCP.
