Cisco ip helper-address Martin Leduc 09-19-07

Hi

I had pass the 4 CCNA curriculum sessions successfully and i'm not able to
do something I think is basic.

I have to forward PPPoE Broadcast packets to my PPPoE server at 10.0.0.2
over my Cisco router.

I use the Cisco 851-K9 router and read on Cisco session 4 that the ip
helper-address command forward the Broadcast packets to Unicast IP address.

So I've put in the int Vlan1 the command

ip helper-address 10.0.0.2

and that doesn't work.

I see something about the ip forward-protocol command but I think I missed
something.

If someone can help me, It's will be appreciated.

Best Regards

Martin

If a helper address is specified and UDP forwarding is enabled, broadcast
packets destined to the following port numbers are forwarded by default:

.Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) (port 69)

.Domain Naming System (port 53)

.Time service (port 37)

.NetBIOS Name Server (port 137)

.NetBIOS Datagram Server (port 138)

.Boot Protocol (BOOTP) client and server packets (ports 67 and 68)

.TACACS service (port 49)

.IEN-116 Name Service (port 42)


Combined with the ip forward-protocol global configuration command, the ip
helper-address command allows you to control which broadcast packets and
which protocols are forwarded.

Hi and thanks for your answer.

You're right and I check on Cisco FAQ and Help the ip forward-protocol
command.

After that I read severals PPPoE documentation:

http://www.javvin.com/protocolPPPoE.html
http://www.javvin.com/protocol/rfc2516.pdf

and the RFC

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2516.txt

I read on the page #2 in the RFC that the Ether_Type for the discovery stage
is 0x8863 and the PPP session stage is 0x8864.

Nowhere they talk about the UDP Protocol and the PPPoE Broadcast.

I'm confuse

So I had try with ip forward-protocol any-local-broadcast, doesn't work.

I had enable the debug on the udp query, I dont see anything

I had enable the debug on all the query, very big mess to check

I'm sure that all ISP using the PPPoE user control use a complete routed
network behind the PPPoE users sessions.

Otherwise, it's doesn't make sens.

Can you help me please?

Regards

Martin
