Parameter Description
• Relay Mode: Indicates the DHCP relay mode operation. Possible modes are:
- Enabled:Enable DHCP relay mode operation. When DHCP relay mode operation is enabled, the agent forwards and transfers
DHCP messages between the clients and the server when they are not in the same subnet domain. And the DHCP broadcast
message won’t be flooded for security considerations.
- Disabled: Disable DHCP relay mode operation.
• Relay Server: Indicates the DHCP relay server IP address. A DHCP relay agent is used to forward and to transfer DHCP messag-
es 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.
