6.2.3 Configuring DHCP Relay

Follow the steps below to enable DHCP relay on the Switch and allow the Switch to add relay agent information (such as the VLAN ID) to DHCP requests.

1Click IP Application > DHCP and then the Global link to open the DHCP Relay screen.

2Select the Active check box.

3Enter the DHCP server’s IP address (192.168.2.3 in this example) in the Remote DHCP Server 1 field.

4Select the Option 82 and the Information check boxes.

5Click Apply to save your changes back to the run-time memory.

6Click the Save link in the upper right corner of the web configurator to save your configuration permanently.

7The DHCP server can then assign a specific IP address based on the DHCP request.

6.2.4Troubleshooting

Check the client A’s IP address. If it did not receive the IP address 172.16.1.18, make sure:

1Client A is connected to the Switch’s port 2 in VLAN 102.

2You configured the correct VLAN ID, port number and system name for DHCP relay on both the DHCP server and the Switch.
