Configuring DHCP and BOOTP Policies
DHCP Policies determine the DHCP servers to which a CMTS interface
forwards DHCP requests from attached cable modems, CPE devices and MTA
devices.
BOOTP Policies determine the BOOTP servers to which a CMTS interface
forwards BOOTP requests from attached cable modems and diskless
workstations.
You configure DHCP policies using the
dhcp-policy command. You configure
the BOOTP policies using the bootp-policy command.

lowest index first, then precedes
incrementally. Upon finding a match, the
action defined for the policy is taken, and no
further policies are applied.
