DGS-3100 Series Gigabit Stackable Managed Switch User Manual
DHCP Relay
The DHCP Relay Page allows the user to enable DHCP relay and define DHCP relay servers on the device.
The Relay agent information option known as Option 82 is part of the DHCP protocol and allows a DHCP relay agent to
send additional client information upon requesting an IP address. A DHCP relay agent detects DHCP broadcasts from
DHCP clients and relays those broadcasts to DHCP servers on different subnets.
In addition, when client ingress VLAN information differs from the VLAN on which DHCP servers are connected, Option
82 information is added to the packets relayed to DHCP server. Option 82 specifies the relaying switch’s MAC address, the
port identifier, and specifies the VLAN forwarding the packet.
