3.6.4 DHCP Relay Agent
If there is an Ethernet device that performs the DHCP server function for your network, then
you can configure the Prestige as a DHCP relay agent. When the switch receives a request
from a computer on your network, it contacts the Ethernet device (the DHCP server) for the
necessary IP information, and then relays the assigned information back to the computer.
Reset Click Reset to start configuring this screen again.
