no ip bootp-server

[Saeed42]

I'm slightly confused about this command, we have a branch site which is connected to the main site via point-to-point connection, all the servers are on the main site (DHCP, WINS, DNS, SMTP, PDC, ETC), everything works fine because I have ip helper enabled, but few days ago I decided to make things a little bit more secure, so I applied the above command which broke all of my UDP broadcast, so my question is what does the above command do exactly ?

According to Cisco, the command blocks bootp ports (67 & 68). It may be indirectly blocking your other ports because your hosts can't advance to using any of the other services if it doesn't have an ip address.
