Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
A DHCP relay server has been set on the switch, and the switch receives a
■
reply packet on a non-management VLAN.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Insertion of Relay Information – Enable DHCP Option 82 information relay.
(Default: Disabled)
◆
DHCP Option Policy – Specifies how to handle client requests which already
contain DHCP Option 82 information:
Drop - Floods the original request packet onto the VLAN that received it
■
instead of relaying it. (This is the default.)
Keep - Retains the Option 82 information in the client request, inserts the
■
relay agent's address, and unicasts the packet to the DHCP server.
Replace - Replaces the Option 82 information circuit-id and remote-id
■
fields in the client's request with information provided by the relay agent
itself, inserts the relay agent's address, and unicasts the packet to the DHCP
server.
◆
DHCP Sub-option Format – Specifies whether or not to use the sub-type and
sub-length fields in the circuit-ID (CID) and remote-ID (RID) in Option 82
information. (Default: Included)
◆
Server IP Address – Addresses of DHCP servers or relay servers to be used by
the switch's DHCP relay agent in order of preference.
◆
Restart DHCP Relay – Use this button to re-initialize DHCP relay service.
