Field Name
Mode
IP Address
Description
The method by which the DHCP relay chooses an
IP address to include in the DHCP request.
When relaying a DHCP/BOOTP request, the relay
has to write its own IP address into the relayed
DHCP request. This address is used by the DHCP
server to determine the subnet from which the
client's IP address has been allocated. When the
router has multiple IP addresses on the same VLAN,
any of these addresses can be used when relaying
DHCP requests.
The Mode field controls the behavior of the DHCP
relay, in choosing the IP address to write into the
DHCP request. Possible modes are:
• Default - The router chooses one of the
addresses itself. The address chosen will be the
lowest IP address on that VLAN.
• Specific - The router is configured with a
single IP address to be used with all relayed
requests arriving on the VLAN. This address
must be one of the router's IP addresses on
the specified VLAN. It must be entered in the
IP Address field.
• Duplicate - The router duplicates each
request arriving on the VLAN, and sends
multiple copies of the request to the DHCP
server - one copy for each of the router's IP
addresses on the VLAN.
One of the router's IP addresses on the VLAN. This
is used for all relayed requests, if Mode is set to
Specific.
