DHCP Relay

The DHCP packet format is based on a BootP packet. As a result, DHCP uses the BootP relay
agent to forward DHCP packets. This scheme provides interoperability between existing BootP
clients and DHCP servers. The BootP relay agent uses the same criteria and methods for
forwarding both DHCP and BootP packets. The DHCP Relay is disabled by default.
