CONFIGURING ADVANCED IP ROUTING

DHCP Relay Agent

Remote Bridge to IP Router (w/Relay Agent)

This configuration is useful when requests by a DHCP Client must be “bridged” to an IP Router that is also a DHCP/BOOTP Relay Agent. Our equipment is shown in this example, but any remote bridge device should work.

DHCP Client

DHCP Server

192.168.1.5

ISDN

192.168.1.168

 

204.157.42.190

 

(RLAN I/F)

 

CSX5500

CSX150

IP Router w/ DHCP

Remote Bridge ("Ruby")

Relay Agent ("Alex")

 

In this configuration, the DHCP Client is able to obtain its IP address from the DHCP Server (and any other information that the server provides), using the Relay Agent contained in the DHCP- enabled router “Alex.” “Ruby” is a remote bridge device which communicates with the IP router using a RLAN interface. Sample configurations for the objects in the above network diagram are:
