BOOTP/DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Relay 
Configuration
BOOTP/DHCP Overview
BOOTP
Short for Bootstrap Protocol, BootP is an Internet protocol that enables a diskless 
workstation to discover its own IP address, the IP address of a BOOTP server on the 
network, and a file to be loaded into memory to boot the machine. This enables the 
workstation to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive. It is used when 
the user/station location changes frequently.
The protocol is defined by RFC 951. 
DHCP
Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, DHCP assigns dynamic IP 
addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a 
different IP address every time it connects to the network. In some systems, the 
device's IP address can even change while it is still connected. DHCP also supports 
a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. 
Dynamic addressing simplifies network administration because the software keeps 
track of IP addresses rather than requiring an administrator to manage the task. This 
means that a new computer can be added to a network without the hassle of 
manually assigning it a unique IP address. Many ISPs use dynamic IP addressing 
for dial-up users. However, dynamic addressing may not be desirable for a network 
server.
DHCP/BOOTP Relay 
The P330 supports the DHCP/BOOTP Relay Agent function. This is an application 
that accepts DHCP/BOOTP requests that are broadcast on one VLAN and sends 
them to a DHCP/BOOTP server that connects to another VLAN or a server that 
may be located across one or more routers that would otherwise not get the 
broadcast request. The relay agent handles the DHCP/BOOTP replies as well, 
transmitting them to the client directly or as broadcast, according to a flag in the 
reply message. Note that the same DHCP/BOOTP relay agent serves both the 
BOOTP and DHCP protocols.
When there is more than one IP interface on a VLAN, the P330 automatically 
chooses one of the IP interface’s to determine the relay network. Alternatively, you 
can configure the relay networks that the P330 will use. If you have defined more 
than one network, the P330 selects the network to be relayed on a Round Robin 
basis.
