Figure 226 Enabling the DHCP client on interface Ethernet 0/1
DHCP relay agent configuration example
Network requirements
Ethernet 0/1 on the DHCP relay agent (Router A) connects to the network where DHCP clients
reside. The IP address of Ethernet 0/1 is 10.10.1.1/24 and IP address of Ethernet 0/2 is 10.1.1.2/24
that connects to the DHCP server 10.1.1.1/24 (Router B).
Router A forwards DHCP messages so that the DHCP clients on the network segment 10.10.1.0/24
can obtain IP addresses, DNS server address and gateway address from the DHCP server. The IP
address lease is seven days, the domain name suffix is aabbcc.com, the DNS server address is
10.10.1.2/24, and the gateway address is 10.10.1.126/24.
