DHCP RELAY OVERVIEW
DHCP Relay Agent acts as an intermediary between clients and servers by
listening for client DHCP broadcast requests and forwarding them on to the
server. In addition, the Relay Agent receives the server's response and passes
the response back to the client.
The relay agent allows the client and server to reside on different subnets.
ALCATEL-LUCENT SPECIFIC OVERVIEW
• DHCP Relay forwarding to the DHCP server is implemented directly or via
rebroadcast on another interface on the OmniAccess 5740 USG.
• Enabling DHCP server on a OmniAccess 5740 USG automatically disables the
DHCP relay.
