"ip helper" command on Nexus 5K

[Munaf Ahmed]

Are any of the following commands supported on Nexus 5K switches when deployed with L3 card:

• ip helper address
  
• ip forward-protocol
  
• ip directed-broadcast
  

thanks

Hi Munaf,

it is weird that a Cisco employee uses the public forum for these requests

anyway

• ip helper address
  
  In NX-OS we use "ip dhcp relay address" command to relay the dhcp requests to a different subnet. It will work for DHCP requests only.

• ip forward-protocol
  
  not supported in NX-OS yet. Enhancement bug opened > CSCts96902    N5548 L3 support for "ip forward-protocol udp"    which is a dup of  CSCtj78445    NX-OS ER: allow any udp broadcast with ip helper-address just like IOS

• ip directed-broadcast
  
  Feature already supported on N5k with L3. What is missing is the possibility to add an ACL. Also for this an enhancement bug has been opened > CSCts96910    N5548 L3 support for ACL in "ip directed-broadcast" command

regards,

Riccardo
