Usage Information
You can add multiple DHCP servers by entering the ip helper-address command multiple times. If multiple
servers are dened, an incoming request is sent simultaneously to all congured servers and the reply is forwarded
to the DHCP client.
Dell Networking OS 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 Dell Networking OS forwards to the client with
source port=67, destination port=68.
ip helper-address hop-count disable
Disable the hop-count increment for the DHCP relay agent.
Syntax
ip helper-address hop-count disable
To re-enable the hop-count increment, use the no ip helper-address hop-count disable command.
Defaults Enabled; the hops eld in the DHCP message header is incremented by default.
