Managing BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent

11.4.4.1 Configuring BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent

Configurable Data

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

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 (secs)- 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. These changes will not be retained across a power cycle unless a save is performed.
