DHCP Relay

When a DHCP client and server are in the same IP subnet, they can directly connect to exchange IP

address requests and replies. However, having a DHCP server on each subnet can be expensive and is

often impractical. Alternatively, network infrastructure devices can be used to relay packets between a

DHCP client and server on different subnets. Such a device, a Layer 3 Relay agent, is generally a router

that has IP interfaces on both the client and server subnets and can route between them. However, in

Layer 2 switched networks, there may be one or more infrastructure devices (for example, a switch)

between the client and the L3 Relay agent/DHCP server. In this instance, some of the client device

information required by the L3 Relay agent may not be visible to it. In this case, an L2 Relay agent can be

used to add the information that the L3 Relay Agent and DHCP server need to perform their roles in

address and configuration and assignment.
