• What is DHCP Relay?

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. In addition to the

DHCP server feature, the P-660HW-Tx v2 supports the DHCP relay function.

When it is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN

clients. When it is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding

the requests and responses negotiating between the DHCP clients and the

server. See figure 1.
