Usage guidelines
Upon receiving a UDP broadcast or multicast packet, UDP helper uses the specified UDP ports to
match the UDP destination port number of the packet.
To specify a UDP port, you can specify the port number or the protocol keyword. For example,
udp-helper port 53 and udp-helper port dns specify the same UDP port.
You can specify a maximum of 256 UDP ports on a device.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] udp-helper port 100
