Are the packets ==>forwarded as-is or are they altered in some way? Does the ==>router need any specific parameters set or is it a default ==>process in the router software itself? I'm trying to determine ==>how interoperable cisco is with other router vendors. ==> cisco routers do not forward bootp broadcasts by default. To forward bootp (and several other UDP broadcast-based protocols), the router has a command call ip forward-protocol udp. This allows bootp to traverse the router. Hope this helps... +-------------------------+-----------------------+---------------------------+ + || || + + Bruce Pinsky + + || || + Cisco Systems, Inc. + Customer Engineer + + |||| |||| + 1525 O'Brien Drive + Phone: (800) 553-24HR + + ..:||||||:..:||||||:.. + Menlo Park, CA + Fax: (415) 903-8787 + + Cisco Systems Inc. + + E-mail: bpinsky@cisco.com + +-------------------------+-----------------------+---------------------------+ | ** The Science of Networking Networks ** | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
