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.
5.4.1 Enable the DHCP Relay
To enable the BOOTP/DHCP Relay complete the following steps:
STEP 1: Access the BOOTP/DHCP Relay screen by clicking on DHCP on the
Advanced Menu, and then click the DHCP Relay tab.
STEP 2: In the DHCP Relay field, select Enable, and enter the IP Address you want
to receive BOOT REQUEST or DHCP packets from clients.
STEP 3: Click on the Apply button.
