3.6.4 DHCP Relay Agent
If there is an Ethernet device that performs the DHCP server function for your network, then
you can configure the Prestige as a DHCP relay agent. When the switch receives a request
from a computer on your network, it contacts the Ethernet device (the DHCP server) for the
necessary IP information, and then relays the assigned information back to the computer.
