32 Dhcp Relay Commands - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6250 Cli Reference Manual

32 DHCP Relay Commands

Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) packets contain configu-
ration information for network hosts. DHCP Relay enables forwarding of BOOTP/DHCP packets between
networks. This allows routing of DHCP traffic between clients and servers. It is not necessary to enable
DHCP Relay if DHCP traffic is bridged through one network (i.e. clients and servers are on the same
physical network).
This chapter includes a description of DHCP Relay commands that are used to define the IP address of
DHCP servers, maximum number of hops, and forward delay time. Configure DHCP Relay on the switch
where routing of BOOTP/DHCP packets occur.
MIB information for DHCP Relay commands is as follows:
