When you click the off button, and then click the Apply button, the Wait Time, Primary IP, and New Server fields disappear, but the parameters are still stored in the system.

Wait Time edit box:
When a BOOTP/DHCP client must retransmit its bootp request, it records the time elapsed since its initial request. The Wait Time edit box allows specifying the minimum client elapsed time (seconds) before the request will be forwarded. A non-zero value provides an opportunity for local configuration servers to reply before relaying the request. Immediate forwarding is enabled by specifying a wait time of zero.

Range: 0-65535
-
Default: 3

-
Primary IP edit box:
Each bootp request relayed for a local client has the router interface IP address recorded in the request. This gateway address can be used by the configuration server when returning the reply, and also in selecting an address range to perform DHCP dynamic address allocation for the client. The Primary IP edit box allows selection of the gateway address to record in the relayed request when the interface has multiple (secondary) IP addresses.
-
Default: Lowest numeric IP address on the interface
-
New Server edit box:
Adds a BOOTP/DHCP configuration server to the list of servers to relay requests received on the interface. When you enter an IP address or host name, then click Apply, the Relay to: field displays.
-
Range: Valid IP address on the network
-
Relay to radio buttons:
Defines the server(s) to which the bootp request is forwarded. This field displays after you enter an IP address or host name in the New Server edit box and then click the Apply button.
