Configuring BOOTP Relay Agents

When you configure a BOOTP relay agent, DHCP Manager takes the following actions:

• Prompts you for IP addresses of DHCP server to which requests should be relayed.

• Edits /etc/default/dhcp, to specify the options needed for BOOTP relay service.

• Creates the following links to /etc/init.d/dhcp to enable the DHCP daemon to start when the system boots:

  • /etc/rc0.d/K34dhcp

  • /etc/rc1.d/K34dhcp

  • /etc/rc2.d/K34dhcp

  • /etc/rc3.d/S34dhcp

The following figure shows the screen displayed when you choose to configure a BOOTP relay agent.
