Relay Service
When DHCP L2 relay mode is enabled, use the IP Service > DHCP > L2 Relay page to
configure DHCP Relay Agent destination server IP addresses and DHCP option 82
information. DHCP provides an option for sending information about its DHCP
clients to the DHCP server (specifically, the interface on the relay server through
which the DHCP client request was received). Also known as DHCP Relay Option 82,
it allows compatible DHCP servers to use this information when assigning IP
addresses, or to set other services or policies for clients
Option 82 information contains information which can identify both the relay
agent and the interface through which the DHCP request was received:
Option 82 information contains information The DHCP Relay Information
Option Remote ID (RID) is the access node identifier – a string used to identify
the switch to the DHCP server.
The DHCP Relay Information Option Fields are the Option 82 circuit
identification fields (CID – including VLAN ID, stack unit, and port). These fields
identify the requesting device by indicating the interface through which the
relay agent received the request.h can identify both the relay agent and the
