Figure 2-3. BootP Client and Server on Different Physical Networks
The client transmits a BOOTREQUEST packet to the IP broadcast address
(255.255.255.255). The router receives the BOOTREQUEST packet at an
interface that you configured to receive BOOTREQUEST packets (an input
interface). If the BOOTREQUEST packet has an address other than
255.255.255.255, the router drops the packet.
Figure 2-4
shows the fields in the BOOTREQUEST and BOOTREPLY packets.
