Description
Configures the addresses to which BOOTP requests should be directed.
Syntax Description

Usage Guidelines
After IP unicast routing has been configured, you can configure the switch to forward Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or BOOTP requests coming from clients on subnets being serviced by
the switch and going to hosts on different subnets. To configure the relay function, follow these steps:
1 Configure VLANs and IP unicast routing.
2 Configure the addresses to which DHCP or BOOTP requests should be directed, using the following
command:
configure bootprelay add <ip_address>
3 Enable the DHCP or BOOTP relay function, using the following command:
enable bootprelay
Example
The following command configures BOOTP requests to be directed to 123.45.67.8:
configure bootprelay add 123.45.67.8
