Relaying BootP Requests
The DHCP relay list is an optional list of IP addresses of servers on the network. You
create the list manually; addresses are not automatically added or removed. You add
addresses to the list using the dhcp addrelay command and remove addresses from
the list using the dhcp delrelay command.
While the relay list contains at least one address, the DHCP server in the router is
disabled, and the router forwards all DHCP requests and BootP requests to all
servers in the relay list. It forwards every reply received from any of the servers in the
relay list to the appropriate LAN.
If you remove all addresses from the DHCP relay list, the DHCP server is re-enabled
and resumes processing DHCP requests and also BootP requests if BootP
processing is enabled.
