Description
The interface name upon which the clients are located.
The IP address of the first of two possible DHCP servers for the interface.
The IP address of the second of two possible DHCP servers for the interface.
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 Relay Address field.
One of the router's IP addresses on the VLAN. This is used for all relayed
requests, if Mode is set to Specific.
