bootp-policy
Defines policies to control and restrict the forwarding of BOOTP requests. BOOTP is a protocol
that allows diskless workstations to boot off of a network server, called a BOOTP server. You can
configure the cable interface to deny (drop) a matching BOOTP request or forward it to a list of
BOOTP servers.
Mode
interface:cable:csi(<c/s/i>)
Syntax
bootp-policy <index> {deny mac <mac-address> [mask <mask>]... |
permit <ip-address>... mac <mac-address> [mask <mask>]... }
[description <string>]
Arguments
<index> Index number to assign to this policy.
deny mac
<mac-address>
[mask <mask>]...
Specifies a list of MAC addresses that identify network devices that will
be denied the ability to issue BOOTP requests. With each MAC address
in the list, you have to option to specify a mask. The mask allows you to
specify a range of devices. For example, the following MAC
address/mask pair would match all addresses starting with 00:02:09:
MAC address: 00:02:09:00:00:00
Mask: FF:FF:FF:00:00:00
permit
<ip-address>... mac
<mac-address>
[mask <mask>]...
Specifies a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses. The IP addresses
identify BOOTP servers. The MAC addresses identify network devices
that are permitted to forward BOOTP requests to the specified servers.
description <string> Specifies a descriptive text string for this policy.
