BOOTP/DHCP Relay

The BOOTP hops count limit allows the maximum number of hops (routers) that the BOOTP messages can be
relayed through to be set. If a packet's hop count is more than the hop count limit, the packet is dropped. The
range is between 1 and 16 hops, with a default value of 4. The relay time threshold sets the minimum time (in
seconds) that the Switch will wait before forwarding a BOOTREQUEST packet. If the value in the seconds field
of the packet is less than the relay time threshold, the packet will be dropped. The range is between 0 and 65,536
seconds, with a default value of 0 seconds.

Description
This field can be toggled between Enabled and Disabled using the pull-
down menu. It is used to enable or disable the BOOTP/DHCP Relay
service on the Switch. The default is Disabled
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.
Allows an entry between 0 and 65535 seconds, and defines the maximum
time limit for routing a BOOTP/DHCP packet. If a value of 0 is entered, the
Switch will not process the value in the seconds field of the BOOTP or
DHCP packet. If a 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.
