I have a laptop hard wired to the TCP/IP Ethernet interface of an IO device. The laptop is running custom software that responds to a BOOTP packet sent by the IO device at power up, assigning an IP address from a configured range in a particular subnet. The laptop has a static IP address within the same subnet. With the Bolt in place of the hard wired connection and a Bluetooth connection established with the laptop the IO device fails to connect to the network upon power up. The software running on the laptop that administers the IP address does not detect the IO device. I have not sniffed the connection but it appears that the BOOTP packet is not being relayed by the Bolt. I enabled DHCP Relay on the Bolt in the hopes that it would relay the BOOTP packet since DHCP is loosely based on BOOTP but that didn’t resolve the issue. Is there a configuration option I am missing to enable BOOTP relay or does the Bolt not support BOOTP?
