New Features in ComOS 3.7.2
DHCP Proxy
ComOS 3.7.2 supports the new "set dhcp-server Ipaddress" command.
In previous releases (and by default in ComOS 3.7.2) the PortMaster
replies directly to a BOOTP request from a dial-in client. In ComOS
3.7.2, if you set a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server
on the PortMaster, the PortMaster does not reply directly to BOOTP
requests but instead forwards BOOTP and DHCP requests to the DHCP
server, as described in RFC 1542, "Clarifications and Extensions for the
Bootstrap Protocol."
