Field

Description

 

 

Layer 2 Interface

The interface name upon which the clients are located.

name

 

 

 

Server1 Address

The IP address of the first of two possible DHCP servers for the interface.

 

 

Server2 Address

The IP address of the second of two possible DHCP servers for the interface.

 

 

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.
