If you are not using the internal FastFlow BPM DHCP server and are instead
using an external DHCP server, then you must point the DHCP relay agent on
the CMTS DOCSIS/EuroDOCSIS module to the IP address of the external
provisioning server. The following procedure steps you through the process
of configuring the CMTS to use an external DHCP provisioning server.

If a DHCP policy is not configured, then the DHCP relay drops all DHCP
requests as it does not know where to forward them.

Task

Command

Note: Skip tasks 1, 2, and 3 if

server to which you want
the interface to forward
DHCP requests.
