L3 Functions > DHCP > DHCPv6 Relay Settings
This window contains two main parts, DHCPv6 Relay Global Settings and DHCPv6 Relay Interface Settings.
In DHCPv6 Relay Global Settings, users can enable and configure DHCPv6 Relay Global Settings. The relay
hops count limit allows the maximum number of hops (routers) that the DHCPv6 messages can be relayed
through to be set. The DHCPv6 packet will be dropped when the relay hop count in the received packet is
equal to or greater than this setting.
In DHCPv6 Relay Interface Settings, users can set up a server, by IPv6 address, for relaying DHCPv6
information to the Switch. Properly configured settings will be displayed in the DHCPv6 Relay Interface Table
at the bottom of the window, once the user clicks the Add button. Entries may be deleted by clicking the
corresponding Delete button.
