BOOTP Relay View


The BOOTP and DHCP protocols are used to aid in the dynamic assignment of host IP addresses, configuration parameters, and, sometimes, boot images. These protocols are typically limited in scope to a single LAN broadcast domain. The BOOTP/DHCP relay agent extends these capabilities to access a configuration server on a remote LAN segment.

To present the BOOTP Relay View, click the BOOTP Relay link in the Client Services section of the Config Tool main menu. The following figure shows an example of the BOOTP Relay View.

The following section describes the fields in the BOOTP Relay View.

Bootp Relay Enable
Allows the operation of the relay agent to be enabled or disabled. Whenever the relay agent is enabled, BOOTP and DHCP requests from clients on locally connected LANs will be forwarded to the specified configuration server.
Forward To
Specifies the IP address of the configuration server to which all relayed BOOTP/DHCP requests will be forwarded. This parameter is mandatory whenever the relay agent is enabled.
