Step Remarks

3. Enabling the DHCP relay agent

on an interface

Required.
Enable the DHCP relay agent on an interface, and correlate the

interface with a DHCP server group.
With DHCP enabled, interfaces work in the DHCP server mode by
default.

IMPORTANT:

An interface cannot serve as both the DHCP server and the DHCP

relay agent. The latest configuration takes effect.

If the DHCP relay agent is enabled on an Ethernet subinterface, a

packet received from a client on this interface must contain a VLAN

tag and the VLAN tag must be the same as the VLAN ID of the
subinterface; otherwise, the packet is discarded.

The DHCP relay agent works on interfaces with IP addresses

manually configured only.

If an Ethernet subinterface serves as a DHCP relay agent, it conveys

IP addresses only to subinterfaces of DHCP clients. In this case, a

PC cannot obtain an IP address as a DHCP client.

4. Configuring and displaying

clients' IP-to-MAC bindings

Optional.
Create a static IP-to-MAC binding, and view static and dynamic

bindings.
The DHCP relay agent can dynamically record clients' IP-to-MAC
bindings after clients get IP addresses. It also supports static bindings.

In other words, you can manually configure IP-to-MAC bindings on the

DHCP relay agent, so that users can access external network using
fixed IP addresses.
By default, no static binding is created.

Enabling DHCP and configuring advanced

parameters for the DHCP relay agent
