Usage Guidelines
•
Using this command enables a Global DHCP Relay service on the switch. When the DHCP Relay is
specified by the DHCP server IP address, the service is called Global DHCP.
•
When the DHCP Relay is specified by the VLAN number of the DHCP request, the service is referred
to as Per-VLAN DHCP.
•
Global DHCP and Per-VLAN DHCP are mutually exclusive. You may only configure one or the other.
•
Use the no form of this command to delete an IP address from the DHCP Relay service. If an address
is not specified, then all addresses are deleted.
•
UPD Relay is automatically enabled on a switch when a DHCP server IP address is defined. There is
no separate command for enabling or disabling the relay service.
•
Configure DHCP Relay on switches where packets are routed between IP networks.
•
You can configure up to 256 server IP addresses for one relay service.
