.

Relay Mode

The method by which the DHCP relay chooses
an IP address to include in the DHCP request.

When relaying a DHCP/BOOTP request, the
relay has to write its own IP address into the
relayed DHCP request. This address is used by
the DHCP server to determine the subnet from
which the client’s IP address has been allocated.
When the router has multiple IP addresses on
the same VLAN, any of these addresses can be
used when relaying DHCP requests.

The

Mode

field controls the behavior of the

DHCP relay in choosing the IP address to write
into the DHCP request. Possible modes are:

Default

- The router chooses one of the

addresses itself. The address chosen will be
the lowest IP address on that VLAN.

Specific

- The router is configured with a

single IP address to be used with all relayed
requests arriving on the VLAN. This
address must be one of the router’s IP
addresses on the specified VLAN. It must
be entered in the

Relay Address

field.

Relay Address

One of the router’s IP addresses on the VLAN.
This is used for all relayed requests, if
