Disable BOOTP Protocol

Question

Hi. 
 
 Since Firewall support BOOTP/DHCP simultaneos It's possible to disable BOOTP offers?

Do you mean disable it for the XG or stop it on the network? It appears that BOOTP and DHCP both use the same ports (TCP/UDP ports 67 and 68), but you should be able to make a firewall rule to only allow packets to ports 67 and 68 that are directed to your DHCP server -- which could be your XG or another machine. 
 Then make sure your DHCP server doesn't also service BOOTP. Probably the default for other servers. For the XG I think you simply would not fill in the Boot Host name in the XG's settings (Network > DHCP > Boot Options > Next-Server) and leave the Boot File field empty. I don't see how the XG could service BOOTP with those two fields empty.
