Chapter 7: Security
Relay Server: Indicates the DHCP relay server IP address. A DHCP relay agent is used to forward and transfer DHCP messages between the clients and the server when they are not in the same subnet domain.
Relay Information Mode: Indicates the DHCP relay information mode option operation.
Possible modes are:
Enabled: Enable DHCP relay information mode operation. When DHCP relay information mode operation is enabled, the agent inserts specific information (option 82) into a DHCP message when forwarding to DHCP server and removes it from a DHCP message when transferring to DHCP client. It only works when DHCP relay operation mode is enabled.
Disabled: Disable DHCP relay information mode operation.
Relay Information Policy: Indicates the DHCP relay information option policy. When DHCP relay information mode operation is enabled, if agent receives a DHCP message that already contains relay agent information, it will enforce the policy. And it only works under DHCP if relay information operation mode is enabled. Possible policies are:
Replace: Replace the original relay information when a DHCP message that already contains it is received.
Keep: Keep the original relay information when a DHCP message that already contains it is received.
Drop: Drop the package when a DHCP message that already contains relay information is received.
Buttons:
Save: Click to save changes.
Reset: Click to undo any changes made locally and revert to previously saved values.
