Full L2 DHCP Relay
Full L2 DHCP Relay is used when the client ingress VLAN is different than the
VLAN on which the DHCP servers are connected. If DHCP servers are located on
the ingress VLAN, transparent L2 DHCP Relay is used.
The Option 82 information is added to the packets that are relayed to DHCP
server.
This mode also forces Option 82 insertion of DHCP Snooping, if activated.
