Configuring BOOTP Services
2-7
• Action: DROP
The user-defined field has the following attributes:
• Reference: after IP header
• Offset: 224 bits (7 longwords into the BOOTP header)
• Length: depends on the media (48 bits for LANs)
Using Unnumbered Interfaces
You can configure BOOTP services only on a numbered network interface. For
instructions on numbering a network interface, refer to the book Configuring
Routers or Configuring Customer Access and Trunks (BNX Software), depending
on the type of installed software.
Although you cannot configure an unnumbered interface to accept BOOTP
requests, you can configure the router to transmit BOOTP requests from an
unnumbered interface. To relay BOOTP packets through an unnumbered
interface, you must specify an input interface on the router and a server in the
BOOT Relay Agent Preferred Server Table window (refer to Figure 2-9). The
router can then unicast a BOOTREQUEST packet through normal IP services to
that server. For instructions about this procedure, refer to “Specifying Servers for
BOOTP Services,” later in this chapter.
Enabling BOOTP Services
This section describes how to enable IP and BOOTP services simultaneously. If
you want to add BOOTP to a circuit on which you have already configured IP,
refer to Configuring Routers or Configuring Customer Access and Trunks (BNX
Software), depending on the type of installed software, for information on adding
a protocol.
When you enable BOOTP services, you are required to configure only a few
parameters. The Configuration Manager supplies default values for the remaining
parameters.
This section assumes that you have read Configuring Routers or Configuring
Customer Access and Trunks (BNX Software), depending on the type of installed
software, and that you have
1. Opened a configuration file
2. Specified router hardware if this is a local mode configuration file
