Act like a DHCP relay agent

Certain DHCP servers respond to DHCP requests using the MAC address of the requesting
station. This can cause DHCP requests from client stations connected to the WCB-200 to be
discarded by the AP that the WCB-200 is associated with since the MAC addresses of these client
stations are not known to the AP.
To resolve the problem, enable this option. The WCB-200 will then modify all DHCP requests so
that they appear to come from a DHCP relay agent.
Note: When this option is enabled the AP to which the WCB-200 is associated must
support multiple relays.
When this option is disabled, the WCB-200 modifies all DHCP requests by setting
Note:
the broadcast flag to ON.
