The following sections provide instructions to verify that the DHCP/BOOTP Relay Agent is
working properly.
V ERIFYING DHCP R ELAY A GENT I NITIALIZATION
Regardless of whether or not the Relay Agent has been enabled via configuration, some
initialization processing is always performed. If this initialization is successful, there should not be
any warnings/errors written to the report log by the DHCP Relay Agent.
1. Examine the report log. Type:
dr <return>
2. The dr command displays the system report log. Look for any messages that begin with:
[DHCP-R]
3. The following messages indicate that errors occurred during DHCP/BOOTP Relay Agent
initialization processing:
[DHCP-R] Failed to allocated memory for transmit buffer pool
[DHCP-R] Relay Agent initialization failed
If you do not see either of these messages in the report log, the DHCP/BOOTP Relay Agent has
successfully performed its initialization processing.
4. If either (or both) of the above messages are contained in the report log, try the following:
Look for the following messages after system initialization:
[DHCP-R] Failed to allocated memory for transmit buffer pool
[DHCP-R] Relay Agent initialization failed
These messages indicate that an error occurred during initialization of the DHCP/BOOTP
Relay Agent. Therefore, the relay agent will not operate correctly. Contact your Distributor or
Customer Support.
V ERIFYING THE R ELAY A GENT IS E NABLED
If the Relay Agent has been enabled via configuration, it will attempt to open a UDP port for use.
A message describing the outcome of this operation will appear in the report log.
1. Examine the report log. Type:
dr <return>
2. Look for any messages that begin with [DHCP-R].
3. If the Relay Agent has been enabled via configuration, the following message should appear:
[DHCP-R] Relay Agent enabled; UDP port (67) opened
If the above message was found in the report log, the Relay Agent has been successfully
enabled.
