DHCP, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (RFC1533), is essentially a more extended and flexible version of BOOTP, which allows configuration parameters and other control information to be carried to hosts. Forwarding of DHCP packets (to a DHCP server elsewhere in the network) is supported in 9.21(4) and 10.0(3), as well as later releases.
