The ip helper-address command is used on a Cisco router to forward certain UDP broadcasts, including those for dynamic IP address assignment (such as DHCP), to a specified unicast IP address. This allows clients on one subnet to obtain network configuration from a server on a different subnet. The other options are invalid or incorrect commands for this purpose.
