Parameter Description
Host Address
The IP address of the OSPF host.
Metric
A value between 1 and 65535 that will be advertised for the route.
Area ID
A 32-bit number in the form of an IP address (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) that uniquely
identifies the OSPF area in the OSPF domain.
BOOTP/DHCP 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 BOOTREQUEST 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.

Status <
Disabled
>
This field can be toggled between

using the pull-

service on the Switch. The default is
Disabled
BOOTP HOPS Count
Limit [
4
]
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
.
BOOTP/DHCP Relay
Time Threshold [
0
]
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.
