Unfortunately if you split your network with multiple VLANs you loose -the ability of identifying your equipment. - -This is where "UDP broadcast relay" comes into play! It will forward received -broadcasts to other configured networks. - -Every UDP port which will be forward requires one unique ID. Currently we -support 99 IDs! - -Configuration -------------- - -.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay id <n> description <description> - - A description can be added for each and every unique relay ID. This is - useful to distinguish between multiple different ports/appliactions. - -.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay id <n> interface <interface> - - The interface used to receive and relay individual broadcast packets. If you - want to receive/relay packets on both `eth1` and `eth2` both interfaces need - to be added. - -.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay id <n> port <port> - - The UDP port number used by your apllication. It is mandatory for this kind - of operation. - -.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay id <n> disable - - Each broadcast relay instance can be individually disabled without deleting - the configured node by using the following command: - -.. cfgcmd:: set service broadcast-relay disable - - In addition you can also disable the whole service without the need to remove - it from the current configuration. - -.. note:: You can run the UDP broadcast relay service on multiple routers - connected to a subnet.
