DHCP Server/BOOTP Relay
DHCP Server/BOOTP Relay
Use the options on this window to enable the Router to act as either a DHCP server or
BOOTP relay agent. Workstations with DHCP/BOOTP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) client software will generate a broadcast message requesting an IP Address
from a DHCP/BOOTP server. As a BOOTP relay agent, the Router will forward these
requests to the appropriate server. When the server assigns the workstation an IP
Address, the Router will then send this address back to the appropriate workstation.
Using this method, the DHCP/BOOTP server can reside at a Remote (WAN) location
and the Router can serve as an agent between requesting workstations and the server.
As a DHCP server, the Router can assign up to 254 IP Addresses to DHCP clients on
the local LAN. It will not assign to clients across the WAN.
