DHCP, BOOTP and DNS Relay

Use DHCP/BOOTP and DNS Relay configuration to allow the Switch to relay DHCP/BOOTP and DNS
information packets to hosts that request them from sources outside the interface on which they reside.
The BOOTP Relay Information menu is used to enable BOOTP Relay and configure hops and time limit. Set the
relay configuration as desired and click on the Apply button. These settings will be applied to all BOOTP/DHCP
relays regardless of the destination or source.
The following fields can be set:
Parameter
BOOTP/DHCP Relay Status <Disabled>

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.
