Bootp Relay


The Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and the newer Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provide a mechanism for client hosts to access configuration data (boot file, IP address, default router, DNS server) from a configuration server. The BOOTP relay service lets you monitor configuration requests on a LAN and forward requests and responses between a remote configuration server and the end host clients.

This section describes the ways in which you can control BOOTP.
