Re: bootp

Daniel,
-> Anyone out there familiar with bootp? One of our networking guys
-> says that there is a router that can't get a bootp request
-> established to download it's config.
Is the router on the same IP subnet as the server? BOOTP
sends a request to an IP broadcast address, which is normally
propagated only through the local subnet, unless a router
is configured to forward the request, either broadcasting it
on another IP subnet or forwarding it to an identified BOOTP
server. So if you go through a router, that router has to be
configured accordingly.
Does this clarify/help?
-> Thanks,
-> Daniel
