Parameter

Description

Primary Address

The IP address to use as the BOOTP/DHCP router address. If you enter an IP address, all BOOTP/DHCP requests received on the interface are stamped with this gateway address. This can be useful on interfaces with multiple IP addresses (aliases).

Wait Time

The minimum time to wait (in seconds) for a local configuration server to answer the boot request before forwarding the request through the interface. This delay provides an opportunity for a local configuration server to reply before attempting to relay to a remote server. Set the wait time to a sufficient length to allow the local configuration server to respond before the request is forwarded. If no local server is present, set the time to zero (0).

Relay to Server

The IPv4 address of the BOOTP/DHCP configuration server to which to forward BOOTP/DHCP requests. You can configure relay to multiple configuration servers independently on each interface. Configuring different servers on different interfaces provides load balancing, while configuring multiple servers on a single interface provides redundancy. The server IPv4 address cannot be an address belonging to the local machine.
