Customizing BOOTP
114070 Rev. B 5-9
Specifying the Target Server IP Address
After you specify the relay agent IP address, you must specify the IP address of
the server that should receive the BOOTREQUEST or DHCP packet from the
relay agent.
Specifying the Target Server’s Host Name
If you want to keep track of the names of BOOTP and DHCP servers, specify the
target server’s host name. The host name cannot exceed 63 ASCII characters,
including embedded spaces.
After you specify the IP address and host name of the target server, the BOOTP
Relay Agent Preferred Server Table window shows the address pair you added and
default values for the Enable/Disable and Pass Through Mode parameters.
Disabling the Forwarding Route
By default, BOOTP and DHCP forwarding is enabled for the route that you
configured. You can disable BOOTP or DHCP forwarding on this route, if you
choose, by setting the Disable/Enable parameter to Disable.
Filtering BOOTP and DHCP Packets
You can control whether an interface transmits BOOTP packets, DHCP packets,
or both to a server by configuring filters for these specific packets. You configure
this type of filter by setting the Pass Through Mode parameter in Site Manager.
The default setting is BOOTP and allows the interface to transmit only BOOTP
packets. Be sure to change the setting if you want to transmit DHCP messages.
