BootP Relay Agent

PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)
117237-C Rev. A
As a BOOTP relay agent, a Nautica router repeats BOOTP
request and response datagrams across selected interfaces.
Allocated and/or relinquished addresses are monitored by the
BOOTP relay agent and are notified to the cul-de-sac routing
system. The router also passes DHCP transactions across subnet
and WAN links.
The BOOTP relay agent will broadcast discover and request
messages on all paths marked to be used for BOOTP-Relay. This
may result in both main and backup paths to a central server
activating to service requests. By specifying a specific server on
the originating router, multiple ISDN calls can be avoided in this
case.
The option is, by default, turned off in Nautica routers. To enable
BOOTP Relay Agent, move to the
and set it there. For more information on this, please refer to
Chapter 5.
If BOOTP is enabled, then at least one of the configured paths
must also be set up for BOOTP-Relay. This is done in the Path
itself (

PPTP is designed to use the already existing Internet protocols of
PPP (Point to Point Protocol) and TCP/IP (Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol). PPTP allows a PPP session to be
tunneled through an IP infrastructure (like the Internet), creating a
Virtual Private Network (VPN).
