MOP is a non-routed protocol, to remote boot using MOP you need to use a
bridge,
I have booted remote devices using MOP using Cisco routers with bridging
turned on

Infact I still have one customer with MOP and LAT running so they have
to have
bridging on in the routers, it is killing the network but the don't want
to send
the money to replace the old junk -err- eqipment.
