Section VII: Routing

Guidelines

These guidelines apply to the BOOTP relay agent:

A routing interface functions as the BOOTP relay agent for the local
clients in its subnet.

You can specify up to eight DHCP or BOOTP servers.

The TTL for BOOTP request relay packets is preset on the AT-9400
Switch to 4. It cannot be changed. Routing interfaces discard BOOTP
requests when the TTL is decremented to zero (i.e., after 4 hops).

Because both BOOTP and DHCP use BOOTP messages, the BOOTP
relay agents can relay both their packets.
