4.5.6.2.4 Configuring DHCP Relay
If a DHCP server is not located in the same subnet with a host, you can configure this switch to forward
any host configuration queries to a server located on another subnet or on another network. Depending
on the configuration setup, the switch either:
• Forwards the packet to a preferred server as defined in the switch configuration using unicast
routing, or
• Broadcasts the DHCP Request again to another directly attached IP subnet specified in the
switch configuration.
Specify the address for any DHCP server, or specify the subnet address for an outbound IP interface
already configured on this switch as described in the following screens.
Parameter Description
Index Server
Address
Used to define any preferred DHCP servers or the outbound subnetwork for
relaying a DHCP request broadcast. (Up to five entries are permitted.)
