Configuring DHCP/BootP Relay
Once IP unicast routing is configured, you can configure the switch
to forward Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or BootP
requests coming from clients on subnets being service by the switch
and going to hosts on different subnets. This feature can be used in
various applications, including DHCP services between Windows NT
servers and clients running Windows 95. To configure the relay
function, do the following:
1. Configure VLANs and IP unicast routing.
2. Enable the DHCP or BootP relay function, using the following
command:
enable bootprelay
3. Configure the addresses to which DHCP or BootP requests should
be directed, using the following command:
config bootprelay add
To delete an entry, use the following command:
config bootprelay delete { | all}
Verifying the
