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, that is, 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.
