Does IP helper forward subnet broadcasts?
- by Eamon
Hi,
I have a device on a VLAN that uses UDP subnet broadcasts to advertise its presence to similar devices.
This works fine on a single VLAN, but now I need to allow it to communicate with similar devices on a second VLAN.
I thought of using the IP helper command in the router, but I am wondering if that only forwards global broadcasts (255.255.255.255)?
My device sends out a subnet broadcast (e.g. 192.168.6.255)
Will IP helper change the destination address to the target subnet (e.g. 192.168.7.255)?
