Enabling the DHCP relay agent on an interface
With the DHCP relay agent enabled, an interface forwards incoming DHCP requests to a DHCP server.
An IP address pool that contains the IP address of the DHCP relay interface must be configured on the DHCP server. Otherwise, the DHCP clients connected to the relay agent cannot obtain correct IP addresses.
