BOOTP/DHCP Relay
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. The following 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
1. From the Main Menu, select Switch Utilities | BOOTP/DHCP Relay and press Enter.
