Enabling BootP on Router Interfaces
Before you enable BootP on router interfaces, make sure that the router is in
forwarding mode. Setting the router to forwarding mode allows the BootP relay
agent to route (forward) all BOOTREQUEST packets and to process both
broadcast packets and all packets explicitly addressed to it. For instructions on
configuring the router in forwarding mode, see Configuring IP, ARP, RARP, RIP,
and OSPF Services.
You must enable BootP (also called BootP pass-through or gateway) on all
interfaces in the paths between the routers and the BootP server. For example, you
would enable BootP on the interfaces indicated in Figure 4-1
.
