BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent
BOOTP/DHCP relay agent enables end stations to use a BOOTP or DHCP server to obtain TCP/IP configuration information or boot files to be loaded into memory, even if the servers are not on the local IP interface. These conditions determine whether you need to enable BOOTP/DHCP relay:
•If the BOOTP or DCHP server and end station are on the same IP interface, no relay agent is necessary.
•If the servers and the end stations are on different IP interfaces, a relay agent is necessary for the switch to forward the messages.
The relay agent forwards these packets between IP interfaces, and therefore must know the IP addresses of the BOOTP and DHCP servers and their respective subnet names (or IP interface names).
When the switch receives packets destined for a BOOTP or DHCP server, it forwards them to specific servers as defined in the following configuration. The switch also forwards packets from the BOOTP or DHCP servers to the appropriate subnets.
To enable the BOOTP/DHCP relay agent, you must configure both the BOOT/DHCP Relay form and the Static Setup form.
To configure the BOOTP/DHCP relay agent
You must configure the relay agent so it can determine whether or not to forward a given BOOTP/ DCHP packet.
1.In the left panel, click Switch Utilities.
2.In the top panel under Others, click BOOTP/DHCP Relay.
