DHCP L2 Relay Agent Commands

You can enable the switch to operate as a DHCP Layer 2 relay agent to relay DHCP requests
from clients to a Layer 3 relay agent or server. The Circuit ID and Remote ID can be added to
DHCP requests relayed from clients to a DHCP server. This information is included in DHCP
Option 82, as specified in sections 3.1 and 3.2 of RFC3046.
dhcp l2relay
Use this command to enable the DHCP Layer 2 Relay agent for an interface, a range of
interfaces, or all interfaces. The subsequent commands mentioned in this section can be
used only when the DHCP L2 relay is enabled.
