IP Routing Features
Configuring DHCP Relay
■ Remote ID: This configurable subfield identifies a policy area that
comprises either the routing switch as a whole (by using the routing
switch MAC address) or an individual VLAN configured on the routing
switch (by using the IP address of the VLAN receiving the client request).
• Use the IP address option if the server will apply different IP
addressing policies to DHCP client requests from ports in different
VLANs on the same routing switch.
• Use the MAC address option if, on a given routing switch, it does not
matter to the DHCP server which VLAN is the source of a client
request (that is, use the MAC address option if the IP addressing
policies supported by the target DHCP server do not distinguish
between client requests from ports in different VLANs in the same
routing switch)
To view the MAC address for a given routing switch, execute the show
system-information command in the CLI.
