Memory Considerations
Polling statistics to determine whether they have reached a threshold and reporting
events when variables exceed thresholds require router processing capacity. When
you set many thresholds and use shorter polling intervals, the router performance
will probably decline.
BootP Relay Agent Overview
BootP is built on the client-server model and allows a diskless client to boot
remotely from a server on the same network or on a different physical network.
The client broadcasts a request to boot from a remote server. When a suitable
server receives the BOOTREQUEST packet, it responds to the client by issuing a
BOOTREPLY packet, which includes the client’s IP address, the address of the
gateway, and the address of a server. The server then transmits the boot file to the
client via a transfer protocol, such as Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
Figure 2-2
illustrates how BootP works when the client and the server are on the
same network. The client transmits a BOOTREQUEST packet to the IP broadcast
address (255.255.255.255). The server sends a BOOTREPLY packet to the client.
Depending on the server’s implementation, the server addresses the packet to
either the broadcast address or the client’s IP address.
