Usage Guidelines The DHCP smart-relay feature enables a CM to automatically switch to a secondary DHCP server if the
primary DHCP server cannot provide the requested IP address. If a DHCP Relay Agent is specified in
the DOCSIS configuration file that the router downloads during its initial provisioning, the secondary
server can reside on a separate subnet.
The DHCP smart-relay feature is enabled by default, so this command is not normally needed. However,
if DHCP clients send multiple DHCP request messages at the same time, use the no ip dhcp smart-relay
command to disable this feature, so that the primary DHCP server has sufficient time to respond to the
initial client requests.
Examples The following example shows how to enable the DHCP smart-relay feature:
Router(config)# ip dhcp smart-relay
The following example shows how to disable the DHCP smart-relay feature, which would be done when
the DHCP clients send multiple DHCP request messages at the same time:
Router(config)# ip dhcp smart-relay
OL-1581-07
ip dhcp smart-relay
no ip dhcp smart-relay
