Configuring IP parameters – Layer 3 Switches
NOTE
You also must configure a helper address on the interface that is connected to the clients for the
application. The Layer 3 Switch cannot forward the requests unless you configure the helper
address. Refer to “Configuring an IP helper address” on page66.
To enable the forwarding of SNMP trap broadcasts, enter the following command.
Brocade(config)# ip forward-protocol udp ntp
Syntax: [no] ip forward-protocol udp udp-port-name | udp-port-num
The udp-port-name parameter can have one of the following values. For reference, the
corresponding port numbers from RFC 1340 are shown in parentheses. If you specify an
application name, enter the name only, not the parentheses or the port number shown here:
bootpc (port 68)
bootps (port 67)
discard (port 9)
dns (port 53)
dnsix (port 90)
echo (port 7)
mobile-ip (port 434)
netbios-dgm (port 138)
netbios-ns (port 137)
ntp (port 123)
tacacs (port 65)
talk (port 517)
time (port 37)
tftp (port 69)
In addition, you can specify any UDP application by using the application 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.
Brocade(config)# no ip forward-protocol udp ntp
This command disables forwarding of SNMP requests to the helper addresses configured on Layer
3 Switch interfaces.
Configuring an IP helper address
To forward a client 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 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.
