■ Enhancement (PR_ 0000000085) — The DHCP relay address configuration enhancement
provides a way to configure a gateway address for the DHCP relay agent to use for DHCP
requests, rather than the DHCP relay agent automatically assigning the lowest-numbered IP
address.
BOOTP/DHCP Relay Gateway
Overview
Previously, the DHCP relay agent selected the lowest-numbered IP address on the interface to use
for DHCP messages. The DHCP server then used this IP address when it assigned client addresses.
However, this IP address may not be the same subnet as the one on which the client needs the DHCP
Service.
This enhancement provides a way to configure a gateway address for the DHCP relay agent to use
for DHCP requests, rather than the DHCP relay agent automatically assigning the lowest-numbered
IP address.
You must be in VLAN context to use this command, for example:
ProCurve# config
ProCurve(config)# vlan 1
ProCurve(vlan-1)#
Syntax: ip bootp-gateway <ip-addr>
Allows you to configure an IP address for the DHCP relay agent to use for DHCP
requests. The IP address must have been configured on the interface.
Default: Lowest-numbered IP address
