8.2.3.4 Managing BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent

Configuring BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent

Configurable Data

Maximum Hop Count - Enter the maximum number of hops a client request can take before being
discarded.

Server IP Address - Enter either the IP address of the BOOTP/DHCP server or the IP address of the
next BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent.

Admin Mode - Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. When you select 'enable'
BOOTP/DHCP requests will be forwarded to the IP address you entered in the 'Server IP address' field.

Minimum Wait Time - Enter a time in seconds. This value will be compared to the time stamp in the
client's request packets, which should represent the time since the client was powered up. Packets will
only be forwarded when the time stamp exceeds the minimum wait time.

Circuit Id Option Mode - Select enable or disable from the pulldown menu. If you select 'enable' Relay
Agent options will be added to requests before they are forwarded to the server and removed from
replies before they are forwarded to clients.

Command Buttons

Submit - Send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately.
