Can anybody clarify whether this will work.
A UDP broadcast to a network broadcast address (192.168.10.255) to be
received by clients on 192.168.20.0/24.
Now from what I believe, if it is sent to the all networks broadcast
(255.255.255.255), then the use of the ip helper-address command will
forward it to the relevant clients vlan. However, as it is being sent to the
network broadcast address, it will not. Or should it?
We thought we had this working on a test-bed, but when we tried to implement
it live, it did not work.
This is running on a 6509 with an msfc2 (msfc IOS is 12.1.8a)
Also, does anybody know of a piece of software that will generate UDP
packets to a specified address and using a specified port? It would be very
handy for testing in this scenario.
