Configure the System to be a Relay Agent
DHCP clients and servers request and offer configuration information via broadcast DHCP messages. Routers do not forward broadcasts,
so if there are no DHCP servers on the subnet, the client does not receive a response to its request and therefore cannot access the
network.
You can configure an interface on the Dell EMC Networking system to relay the DHCP messages to a specific DHCP server using the ip
helper-address dhcp-address command from INTERFACE mode, as shown in the following illustration. Specify multiple DHCP
servers by using the
ip helper-address dhcp-address command multiple times.
When you configure the ip helper-address command, the system listens for DHCP broadcast messages on port 67. The system
rewrites packets received from the client and forwards them via unicast to the DHCP servers; the system rewrites the destination IP
address and writes its own address as the relay device. Responses from the server are unicast back to the relay agent on port 67 and the
relay agent rewrites the destination address and forwards the packet to the client subnet via broadcast or unicast, depending whether the
client has set or cleared the BROADCAST flag in the DHCP Client PDUs.
