II. Configuring DHCP relay handshake
When the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the DHCP server through the
DHCP relay, the DHCP relay records the binding relationship of the IP address and the
MAC address. After the DHCP relay function is enabled, the DHCP relay sends the
handshake packet (the DHCP-REQUEST packet) periodically to the DHCP server
according to the IP address and its MAC address, which are specified in the binding
relationship.
z If the DHCP server returns the DHCP-ACK packet, it indicates that the IP address
can be assigned. The DHCP relay ages the corresponding entry in the user
address table.
z If the DHCP server returns the DHCP-NAK packet, it indicates that the lease of
the IP address is not expired. The DHCP relay does not age the corresponding
entry.
After the DHCP relay function is disabled, the DHCP relay does not send the
handshake packet (the DHCP-REQUEST packet) periodically to the DHCP server.
z When the DHCP client releases this IP address, the client unicasts the
DHCP-RELEASE packet to the DHCP server.
z The DHCP relay does not process this packet, so the user address entries of the
DHCP relay cannot be updated in real time.
