Figure 167. LMS Boothelper Parameters Panel
This screen allows you to display and configure module-wide Boothelper
parameters for the Multiprotocol Interconnect module. The following
parameters can be specified using this panel:
•
Boothelper
If this parameter is disabled, all the BOOTP datagrams are discarded by
the Multiprotocol Interconnect module. If enabled, they will be forwarded
to the address specified by
Forward Address
parameter.
•
Forward Address
This is either the IP address of the BOOTP server (if the BOOTP server is
directly connected to the module) or the IP address of the next
Boothelper router in the path to the BOOTP server.
•
Hop Count
This parameter restricts the number of Boothelpers that BOOTP
messages may traverse before reaching the BOOTP server. The
message will be discarded if the number of hops is equal to or exceeds
the value configured for this parameter.
In this example, the station with IP address 9.67.46.45 is an RS/6000
workstation configured as a BOOTP server.
10. If you are planning to use OSPF, you must configure the Multiprotocol
