How do I configure the V!CAS as a BOOTP relay agent?
BOOTP, the Bootstrap Protocol, defines how a host on a TCP/IP network
can get its IP address and other information required at startup from an-
other computer. The requesting host is the BOOTP client, the computer
providing the information is the BOOTP server. Since the server only
hears requests on directly connected LAN segments its sometimes useful
to have a BOOTP relay agent forward requests/responses between the
clients and server.
Before you begin
To configure the Relay Agent all you need is the server’s IP address.
Configure it
Set BOOTP Server Address
BOOTP Server Address
<server’s IP Address>
The V!CAS will now forward all BOOTP requests received over any of
its interfaces (WAN or LAN) to the server.
(optional) WAN Partner
If the server or client is accessible via a dialup link, the appropriate
WAN partner must also be configured before the V!CAS can contact
or respond to the server or client.
