# UDP broadcast forwarding configuration using Enterprise Device Manager

UDP broadcast forwarding is a general mechanism for selectively forwarding limited UDP broadcasts received on an IP interface to a configured IP address.

This chapter describes the procedures that you can use to configure and manage UDP broadcast forwarding using Enterprise Device Manager (EDM).

## Prerequisites

- Enable IP routing globally.

- Enable IP routing and configure an IP address on the target VLAN interface.

- Ensure that a route to the destination address is available on the switch.

## Configuring UDP broadcast forwarding

Use the following procedure to configure UDP broadcast forwarding using EDM.

### Procedure steps

1. Create UDP protocol entries that specify each UDP port and associated protocol that you want to forward.

2. Create UDP forwarding entries that specify the destination address for each UDP port that you want to forward.

3. Add UDP forwarding entries to a UDP forwarding list (you can create up to 128 UDP forwarding lists.)

4. Apply UDP forwarding lists to local VLAN interfaces.
