Debug DHCP server
DHCP Clear Commands
Configure the System to be a Relay Agent
The following feature is available on platforms: c, e, s and
DHCP clients and servers request and offer configuration information via broadcast DHCP messages.
Routers do not forward broadcasts, so if there are no DHCP servers on the subnet, the client does not
receive a response to its request and therefore cannot access the network.
You can configure an interface on the Dell Force10 system to relay the DHCP messages to a specific
DHCP server using the command
ip helper-address dhcp-address from INTERFACE mode, as shown in the
illustration below. Specify multiple DHCP servers by entering the
ip helper-address dhcp-address command
multiple times.
