Specifying the Pass Through Mode for Packet Forwarding
BootP and DHCP use the BootP relay agent to forward packets. You can configure
the BootP relay agent to forward BootP packets, DHCP packets, or both. The
default setting is BootP, which allows the interface to transmit only BootP packets.
Change the setting if you want to transmit DHCP packets.
You can use the BCC or Site Manager to specify the pass through mode.
Using the BCC
To set the pass through mode on a BootP interface, go to the BootP prompt (for
example,
box; eth 2/2; ip/2.2.2.2/255.255.0.0; bootp
) and enter:
pass-thru-mode
<value>
value
is one of the following:
bootp
(default)
bootp-dhcp
dhcp
For example, this command line sets the pass through mode to bootp-dhcp, which
enables the BootP relay agent on the router to transmit both BootP and DHCP
packets to the server.
bootp/2.2.2.2#
pass-thru-mode bootp-dhcp
bootp/2.2.2.2#
