If the port is a default
UDP port, you do not
need to configure it;
otherwise you need to
configure the port as
required.

Caution:
z You need to enable the UDP-Helper function before specifying a UDP-Helper
destination port.
z The dns, netbios-ds, netbios-ns, tacacs, tftp, and time keywords refers to the
six default UDP ports. You can configure a default port to be a UDP-Helper
destination port by specifying the corresponding port number or the corresponding
keyword. For example, udp-helper port 53 and udp-helper port dns specify the
same port.
z The display current-configuration command does not display the default UDP
ports that are configured to be UDP-Helper destination ports.
z After UDP-Helper is disabled, all the configured UDP ports are cancelled,
including the default ports.
z You can configure up to 40 UDP ports as UDP-Helper destination ports on a
device.
z You can configure up to 20 destination servers on a VLAN interface.
