The amount of time (typically in seconds, but determined by the client) the BOOTP/DHCP 
relay will wait before forwarding a request to the server address. This delay gives a local 
server a chance to respond to a client before the relay forwards it further out in the network. 
This value may range from 1 to 65535.

The maximum number of relays that a packet can go through while traversing the network. 
This limit keeps packets from “looping” through the network. Set this value to the maximum 
number of 

BOOTP/DHCP

 relays you expect packets to traverse. This value may range from 1 

to 16.

At least one server address must be configured for the 

BOOTP/DHCP

 relay. To configure the 

server address:

1. On the UDP Relay Configuration screen prompt, enter

A screen displays similar to the following:

2. Enter the 

IP

 address, which may be a specific host on the network or a subnet broadcast 

address. The address should be in dotted decimal format (i.e., 198.206.181.12) or hexadec-
imal address (i.e., 0xc6ceb501). Alternately you may enter a host name (i.e., system.com) 
if the 

DNS

 resolver is enabled on the switch through the 

 command. The screen redis-

plays with the entry.

3. Repeat the previous step to add all the addresses to which you want to forward to. Press 

 when you are finished adding addresses. The screen redisplays with the Server 

Address field set to 

. 

4. Make any changes to Forward Delay or Maximum Hops.

5. Enter 

 to save your changes. If the relay has just been enabled, the system initializes the 

relay. If the relay is already running, it is stopped and reinitialized with the changes.

6. Enter 

 to quit the UDP Relay Configuration screen.

By default, Alcatel’s implementation of 

BOOTP

 rejects packets less than 300 bytes. To prevent 

BOOTP

 from discarding packets smaller than 300 bytes add the following line to the 

 

file:

This line must appear before the 

 line.
