UDP Helper Configuration Example
Cross-Network Computer Search Through UDP Helper
Network requirements
As shown in
, PC A resides on network segment 192.168.1.0/24 and PC B on
192.168.10.0/24; they are connected through Switch A and are routable to each other. It is required to
configure UDP Helper on Switch A, so that PC A can find PC B through computer search. (Broadcasts
