Enables the BOOTP Relay function on one or all VLANs for the specified VR or VRF.
| vlan_name | Specifies a single VLAN on which to enable the BOOTP Relay feature. |
| vr_name | Specifies a single VR on which to enable the BOOTP Relay feature. |
| all | Specifies that BOOTP Relay is to be enabled for all VLANs on the specified VR or VRF. |
The BOOTP Relay function is disabled on all VLANs and VRs.
Because VLAN names are unique on the switch, you can specify only a VLAN name (and omit the VR name) to enable BOOTP Relay on a particular VLAN. When you enable BOOTP Relay on a VR or VRF, BOOTP Relay is enabled on all VLANs for that VR. If you enter the command without specifying a VLAN or a VR, the functionality is enabled for all VLANs in the current VR context.
Note
If DHCP/BOOTP Relay is enabled on a per VLAN basis, make sure it is enabled on both the client-side and server-side VLANs.
You can enable the use of LSP next hops, or you can enable DHCP/BOOTP Relay. The software does not support both features at the same time.
The following example enables the forwarding of BOOTP requests for all VLANs in the current VR context:
enable bootprelay
You can use either of the following commands to enable the forwarding of BOOTP requests for VLAN client1:
enable bootprelay "client1" enable bootprelay vlan "client1"
You can use any one of the following commands to enable the forwarding of BOOTP requests for all VLANs on VR zone3:
enable bootprelay zone3 enable bootprelay vr zone3 enable bootprelay all zone3 enable bootprelay all vr zone3
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
The capability to enable BOOTP Relay on a VLAN was added in ExtremeXOS 12.4.2.
This command is available on all platforms.
