Field

Description

 

 

 

 

Relay Mode

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.

 

 

 

 

Relay Address

One of the router’s IP addresses on the VLAN.

 

 

This is used for all relayed requests, if Mode is set

 

 

to Specific.

 

 

 

You can create, modify, or delete DHCP/BOOTP parameters. For more information on editing tables, refer to “Editing Tables” on page 213.
