Has anyone out there had problems getting UDP broadcasts to forward on anything other then the default Cisco ports between VLANs on a Cat 6k series with an MSFC? I'm running 12.0(3)XE1, and want to forward UDP RPC (port 111) broadcasts for NIS between VLANs, but no matter what combinations I try, the NIS server (and the router's debug) never sees broadcasts forwarded. I used the standard commands: ip forward-protocol udp 111 and then on each of the VLAN interfaces: ip helper-address IP_OF_NIS_SERVER Unfortunately, I don't have a router handy to test this with. Every other engineer I talk with at TAC says the router won't forward broadcasts to the local subnet (ie: 192.168.2.255/24), and that the IP would have to be all ones. But CCO and probably 50% of TAC disagree. Anyone have more insight?? Thanks!
