To configure the static BOOTP relay setup
You must configure the BOOTP/DCHP relay agent so that it knows the servers’ IP addresses and subnet names (IP interface names).
1.In the left panel, click Switch Utilities.
2.In the top panel under Others, click BOOTP/DHCP Relay Interface Configurations.
3.Click New and configure these fields.
Field | Description | |
|
| |
Interface Name | Specifies the subnet name (IP interface name) of the network that the | |
BOOTP or DHCP server is located on. | ||
| ||
|
| |
BOOTP/DHCP Server | Specifies the IP address of the BOOTP or DHCP server. Multiple servers | |
may be entered for a given subnet name (IP interface name). | ||
| ||
|
|
4.Click Apply.
The server is added to the BOOTP/DHCP Relay Setup list.
5.To add another server, repeat steps 2 and 3. Each IP interface can be configured for four servers.
6.To remove a server, select the server and click Delete.
DNS Relay
DNS relay enables the switch to act as a DNS cache or proxy and to forward DNS requests to the DNS server only when required. Whether you enable DNS relay depends upon whether you want to
•Save a DNS server or the linking WAN extraneous or repetitive traffic.
•Try to shorten the response time for a DNS request on a slow or long WAN.
•Change or control the IP response for a series of DNS requests.
•Control which servers are used for DNS.
When the switch receives packets destined for a DNS server and the requests are not statically defined in the switch or previously cached, the switch forwards them to the servers as defined in the following configuration. The switch also forwards packets from the DNS servers back to the appropriate subnets.
