NOTE: The S4248-ON switch supports only one default prole to reserve resources for overlay ARP entries.
To activate the prole after you congure an overlay routing prole, save the conguration and reload the switch.
Congure an overlay routing prole
• Enable an overlay routing prole in Conguration mode or disable the congured prole and return to the default.

DHCP relay on VTEPs
Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol (DHCP) clients on hosts in the overlay communicate with a DHCP server using a DHCP relay on the
VTEP switch. In OS10, DHCP relay is supported on VTEPs only if you locate the DHCP server in the underlay network. To work seamlessly,
VTEP DHCP relay transmits the virtual-network IP address of the relay interface to the DHCP server.
By default, DHCP uses the giaddr packet eld to carry these addresses to the server. In a VxLAN, which has overlay and underlay
subnets in the same default VRF, DHCP relay on VTEPs operates without user intervention. However, in a VXLAN in which the underlay
and overlay are in dierent VRFs, the default DHCP method is not successful. The IP tenant subnet is in the overlay address space. The IP
address where the VTEP is reachable is in the underlay address space. To transmit the IP subnet of the client separately from the IP
address where the VTEP is reachable, you must congure an additional DHCP sub-option (5 or 151) in DHCP relay agent option 82.
Because OS10 does not support the required sub-options in DHCP relay agent option 82, the giaddr packet eld must contain the
virtual-network IP address of the relay interface, and this IP address must be reachable from the DHCP server in the underlay. Each VTEP
