Whether to enable the router to forward directed broadcasts
A directed broadcast is a broadcast intended only for a subnet rather than
all nodes on the network.
To enable directed broadcast forwarding, see "Configuring Directed
Broadcast Forwarding" on page 81.
Whether to configure the router or end node as a BOOTP forwarder
The BOOTP protocol enables end nodes to obtain an IP address at start-
up time. If there is a BOOTP or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server on your internetwork, any IP routers that are configured
to act as a BOOTP forwarder accept and forward BOOTP or DHCP
requests to the server. The BOOTP or DHCP server then assigns an IP
address to the end station.
To configure BOOTP forwarding, see "Configuring BOOTP
Forwarding" on page 82.
Whether to configure multiple logical interfaces on a single board
Using multiple logical interfaces enables you to bind more than one IP
network to a LAN board. Each binding operates as a separate logical
interface.
To configure multiple logical interfaces on a board, see "Configuring
Multiple Logical Interfaces" on page 84.
Whether to use multihoming
Multihoming enables an interface to be bound to multiple IP addresses on
the same network. Multihoming can be used for all IP networks bound to
a router, whether the networks are bound to on the same interface or
different interfaces.
The most common use of multiple addresses on the same network is to
enable a Web server to operate as though it is several Web servers. In this
application, each secondary IP address is used by a different virtual host
on the same Web server. The Domain Name System (DNS) can be used
to access these virtual hosts using unique hostnames.
Multihoming is also commonly used with network address translation
(NAT), the proxy server, and the virtual private network (VPN).
To configure multihoming, see "Configuring a Secondary IP Address" on
page 86.
