interface (DNS, Port, and TFTP Packet Forwarding or Relay Agent)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify the interface for monitoring and forwarding DNS or TFTP requests, or for forwarding LAN broadcast traffic on a custom UDP port to a particular server as unicast traffic.

When configuring port helpers, in releases prior to Junos OS Release 17.2, only one server can be specified for a given port. For Junos OS Release 17.2 and later, multiple servers can be specified for a given port at the global or interface-specific level. In this case, the same packet, with the originator IP address and port requests, is forwarded to the different configured servers; the payload of the UDP packet is not modified.

Options

interface-name—Name of the interface.

The remaining statements are explained separately. See CLI Explorer.
