We have an installation of Cisco Clean Access system. We purchased this product believing that the Clean Access Agent would communicate with the Clean Access Server across a router. It relies on a UDP broadcast on port 8905 using the SWISS protocol.
(my Google searches have turned up nothing on the SWISS protocol)
Today we tested the system with a client on one subnet and the server on another. In retrospect I shouldn't be surprised, but the client did not detect the server.
I'm wondering if there is a work around using helper addresses. What I would need is for the broadcasts from the server to be broadcast on the remote subnets. A helper address of 192.168.1.255. for instance.
However, as I understand it, the default for helper address redirect is limited to a number of ports such as dhcp, ntp, etc.
Is there a way to direct udp broadcasts on port 8905 from one subnet to broadcast to limited number of subnets (not globally) on a router?
Thanks for any input.
