BOOTP Relay Agent
The
CN4093
can
function
as
a
Bootstrap
Protocol
relay
agent,
enabling
the
switch
to
forward
a
client
request
for
an
IP
address
up
to
two
BOOTP
servers
with
IP
addresses
that
have
been
configured
on
the
switch.
When
a
switch
receives
a
BOOTP
request
from
a
BOOTP
client
requesting
an
IP
address,
the
switch
acts
as
a
proxy
for
the
client.
The
request
is
then
forwarded
as
a
UDP
Unicast
MAC
layer
message
to
two
BOOTP
servers
whose
IP
addresses
are
configured
on
the
switch.
The
servers
respond
to
the
switch
with
a
Unicast
reply
that
contains
the
default
gateway
and
IP
address
for
the
client.
The
switch
then
forwards
this
reply
back
to
the
client.
shows
a
basic
BOOTP
network
example.

BOOTP
Relay
Agent
Configuration
The
use
of
two
servers
provide
failover
redundancy.
The
client
request
is
forwarded
to
both
BOOTP
servers
configured
on
the
switch.
However,
no
health
checking
is
supported.
BOOTP Relay Agent Configuration
To
enable
the
CN4093
to
be
the
BOOTP
forwarder,
you
need
to
configure
the
BOOTP
server
IP
addresses
on
the
switch,
and
enable
BOOTP
relay
on
the
interface(s)
on
which
the
BOOTP
requests
are
received.
Generally,
you
should
configure
the
command
on
the
switch
IP
interface
that
is
closest
to
the
client,
so
that
the
BOOTP
server
knows
from
which
IP
subnet
the
newly
allocated
IP
address
should
come.
Use
the
following
commands
to
configure
the
switch
as
a
BOOTP
relay
agent:
Use
the
following
command
to
enable
the
Relay
functionality
on
an
IP
interface:
