DHCP / BOOTP Relay
The BOOTP hops count limit allows the maximum number of hops (routers) that the BOOTP messages can be relayed through to be set. If a packet’s hop count
is more than the hop count limit, the packet is dropped.The range is between
1
and
16
hops, with a default value of
4
.The relay time threshold sets the minimum
time (in seconds) that the Switch will wait before forwarding a BOOT REQUEST packet. If the value in the seconds field of the packet is less than the relay time
threshold, the packet will be dropped.The range is between
0
and
65,536
seconds, with a default value of
0
seconds.
