Introduction to DHCP relay agent

Application environment

Via a relay agent, DHCP clients communicate with a DHCP server on another subnet to obtain
configuration parameters. DHCP clients on different subnets can contact the same DHCP server rather

than having a DHCP server on each subnet. This centralizes management and reduces cost reduction.

Fundamentals

shows a typical application of the DHCP relay agent.
