Enabling DHCP relay operation
For the DHCP relay agent to work on the switch, you must complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Enable DHCP relay on the routing switch (the default setting.)
- Ensure that a DHCP server is servicing the routing switch.
- Enable IP routing on the routing switch.
- Ensure that there is a route from the DHCP server to the routing switch and back.
- Configure one or more IP helper addresses for specified VLANs to forward DHCP requests to DHCP servers on other subnets.
