IP Routing Features 
UDP Broadcast Forwarding on 5300xl Switches 
Operating Notes for UDP Broadcast Forwarding 
Maximum Number of Entries.  The number of UDP broadcast entries and 
IP helper addresses combined can be up to 16 per VLAN, with an overall 
maximum of 256 on the switch. (IP helper addresses are used with the switch’s 
DHCP Relay operation. For more information, refer to 
“Configuring DHCP 
Relay” on page 11-73.) For example, if VLAN 1 has 2 IP helper addresses 
configured, you can add up to 14 UDP forwarding entries in the same VLAN. 
TCP/UDP Port Number Ranges. 
There are three ranges: 
•  Well-Known Ports: 0 - 1023 
•  Registered Ports: 1024 - 49151 
•  Dynamic and/or Private Ports: 49152 - 65535
