Configure the System to be a Relay
Agent
DHCP clients and servers request and offer configuration information via broadcast DHCP messages. Routers
do not forward broadcasts, so if there are no DHCP servers on the subnet, the client does not receive a
response to its request and therefore cannot access the network.
You can configure an interface on the Dell Networking system to relay the DHCP messages to a specific
DHCP server using the ip helper-address dhcp-address command from INTERFACE mode, as shown
