Configuring Switching Information

DHCP Relay Remote-Id — When a string is entered here, if a client sends a DHCP request to the

switch and the client is in a VLAN that corresponds to the selected S-VID, then the switch adds the

string to the Remote-ID sub-option of Option 82 in the DHCP request packet. The range is 0-128

alphanumeric characters. The default is

NULL string.

This sub-option can be used by the server for parameter assignment. The content of this option is

vendor-specific.

Using the Port Aggregator Feature

The Port Aggregator feature minimizes the administration required for managing the blade-centric

switch blades. This feature provides administrators the ability to map internal ports to external ports

without having to know anything about STP, VLANs, Link Aggregation or other L2/L3 protocols.
The Port Aggregator feature is only available when the switch is operating in Simple mode, which is

disabled by default. For information about changing the mode, see "Setting the Operational Mode" on

page 130.
To display the Port Aggregator page, click Switching > Port Aggregator in the tree view. Use this page to
