Usage Information
You can add multiple DHCP servers by entering the ip helper-address command multiple times. If multiple
servers are defined, an incoming request is sent simultaneously to all configured servers and the reply is forwarded
to the DHCP client.
The system uses standard DHCP ports, that is UDP ports 67 (server) and 68 (client) for DHCP relay services. It
listens on port 67 and if it receives a broadcast, the software converts it to unicast, and forwards to it to the
DHCP-server with source port=68 and destination port=67.
The server replies with source port=67, destination port=67 and the system forwards to the client with source
port=67, destination port=68.
