https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/extremeswitching-exos-switch/is-ipforwarding-must-have-for-bootprelay/m-p/55194#M15884 Hello Modris,<BR /> <BR /> Bootprelay does rely on routing to reach the server. I am not sure why the command is available in the CLI.<BR /> <BR /> Considering this is a L2 switch I would assume that the traffic would be forwarded to a L3 capable switch or a router if the device needs to send information out of its subnet. It would be this device where bootprelay or a bootprelay equivalent would need to be configured (Ie Iphelper for Cisco).<BR /> <BR /> Hope this helps!
