If a DHCP server is not located in the same subnet with a host, you can configure this switch to forward any host configuration queries to a server located on another subnet or on another network. Depending on the configuration setup, the switch either:
•Forwards the packet to a preferred server as defined in the switch configuration using unicast routing, or
•Broadcasts the DHCP Request again to another directly attached IP subnet specified in the switch configuration.
Specify the address for any DHCP server, or specify the subnet address for an outbound IP interface already configured on this switch as described in the following screens.
