Hello I'm trying to forward broadcast UDP protocols that are being received by the switch. I want to forward all that traffic to the laptop. I have tried using IP HELPER and on the receiving switch interface to the destination of the laptop 7.7.1.2.  What can I do to forward the UDP packets 3201-3206 I don't see them in my wireshark sniffer.

Hello,

post the running configuration of your router, as well as the switches.

--> 10.1.1.255 2.2.2.1 172.15.67.2 5.6.5.2 7.7.1.2 

What are these IP addresses ?

If your Video-Feed is sending the traffic stream as a Broadcast, it is not really a very well behaved application.   It must surely be better practice, from a networking perspective, for your video-application to be sourcing the traffic as a Multicast stream instead  ??

 With a Broadcast video-stream you don't have any ability to control the distribution of the traffic within your layer2 domain, so everything connected to your switch will receive the video, whether they need it or not.  And if you need to have multiple receivers for your stream(s), then forwarding the braodcast traffic via helper-addresses on the l3-boundary starts to get very clunky.
