The following fields can be set:
Parameter Description
BOOTP/DHCP
Relay Status
<Disabled>
This field can be toggled between
Enabled and Disabled using the
space bar. It is used to enable or
disable the BOOTP/DHCP Relay
service on the switch. The default is
Disabled.
BOOTP HOPS
Count Limit [4 ]
This field allows an entry between 1
and 16 to define the maximum
number of router hops BOOTP
messages can be forwarded across.
The default hop count is 4.
BOOTP/DHCP
Relay Time
Threshold:[0 ]
Allows an entry between 0 and

maximum time limit for routing a
BOOTP/DHCP packet. If a value of 0
is entered, the switch will not

non-zero value is entered, the switch
will use that value, along with the
hop count to determine whether to
forward a given BOOTP or DHCP
packet.
