DHCP Relay Commands
page 32-44 OmniSwitch 6250 CLI Reference Guide November 2009
• When UDP Relay is disabled for BOOTP/DHCP, the ip helper configuration is not retained and all 
dependant functionality (i.e., automatic IP configuration for VLAN 1, Telnet and HTTP client authenti-
cation, etc.) is disrupted.
• Up to three types of UDP Relay services are supported at any one time and in any combination.
Note. If the relay service for BOOTP/DHCP is disabled when the switch reboots, the service is automati-
cally enabled when the switch comes back up. If there were three non-BOOTP/DHCP relay services 
already enabled before the reboot, the most recent service enabled is disabled and replaced with the 
BOOTP/DHCP relay service.
• If port relay is enabled for the NBDD well-known port, NBNS is not automatically enabled by default. 
Specify NBNS/NBDD to enable relay for both well-known ports.
• Note that when UDP port relay is enabled for NTP, relay cannot forward NTP packets that contain a 
destination IP address that matches a VLAN router IP address on the switch.
Examples
-> ip udp relay DNS
