for host devices attached to the switch.

Table 231: DHCP Relay Commands

DHCP Relay for IPv4

ip dhcp relay server

Specifies DHCP server addresses for relay

ip dhcp restart relay

Enables DHCP relay agent

DHCP Relay for IPv6

ipv6 dhcp relay

Specifies destination address or VLAN to which client

messages are forwarded for relay service

show ipv6 dhcp relay

Shows destination addresses or VLAN to which client

messages are forwarded for relay service

This command specifies the DHCP server or relay server addresses to be

used by the switch's DHCP relay agent. Use the no form to clear all

ip dhcp relay server address1 [address2 [address3 ...]]

no ip dhcp relay server

address - IP address of DHCP server. (Range: 1-5 addresses)

Interface Configuration (VLAN)

DHCP relay service applies to DHCP client requests received on the

specified VLAN.

This command is used to configure DHCP relay for host devices

attached to the switch. If DHCP relay service is enabled, and this switch

sees a DHCP client request, it inserts its own IP address into the

request so that the DHCP server will know the subnet where the client

is located. Then, the switch forwards the packet to a DHCP server on

another network. When the server receives the DHCP request, it

allocates a free IP address for the DHCP client from its defined scope

for the DHCP client's subnet, and sends a DHCP response back to the

DHCP relay agent (i.e., this switch). This switch then passes the DHCP

response received from the server to the client.
