from multiple segments, which is not only cost-effective but also management-effective.

As shown in the above figure, the DHCP client and the DHCP server are in different networks,
the DHCP client performs the four DHCP steps as usual yet DHCP relay is added to the
process.
1. The client broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet, and DHCP relay inserts its own IP
address to the relay agent field in the DHCPDISCOVER packet on receiving the packet,
and forwards the packet to the specified DHCP server (for DHCP frame format, please
refer to RFC2131).
2. On the receiving the DHCPDISCOVER packets forwarded by DHCP relay, the DHCP
server sends the DHCPOFFER packet via DHCP relay to the DHCP client.
3. DHCP client chooses a DHCP server and broadcasts a DHCPREQUEST packet, DHCP
relay forwards the packet to the DHCP server after processing.
4. On receiving DHCPREQUEST, the DHCP server responds with a DHCPACK packet via
DHCP relay to the DHCP client.
