ip helper per-vlan only
Sets the DHCP Relay forwarding option to process only DHCP packets received from a specific, identi-
fied VLAN. This option allows each VLAN to have its own relay.
ip helper per-vlan only
Syntax Definitions
N/A
Defaults
By default, the UDP forwarding option is set to standard.
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6250 
Usage Guidelines
• When the forwarding option is set to per-vlan only, the standard (global) DHCP relay service is not 
available. These two types of services are mutually exclusive.
• Using the per-vlan only forwarding option requires you to specify a DHCP server IP address for each 
VLAN that will provide a relay service. The ip helper address vlan command performs this function 
and at the same time enables relay for the specified VLAN.
