Figure 9-21. BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent Configuration
The BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent Configuration page contains the following fields:
• 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 drop-down menu. When you select Enable,
BOOTP/DHCP requests are forwarded to the IP address you entered in the Server IP address field.
• Minimum Wait Time (secs) — Enter a time in seconds. This value is compared to the time stamp in
the client's request packets, which should represent the time since the client was powered up. Packets
are only forwarded when the time stamp exceeds the minimum wait time.
• Circuit ID Option Mode — Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu. If you select Enable,
the relay agent adds Option 82 header packets to the DHCP Request packets before forwarding them
to the server, and strips them off while forwarding the responses to the client.
