Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol DHCP Relay
iMG/RG Software Reference Manual (System Administration)
5-8
A lease time of one hour is requested.
A client identifier of 00:20:2b:01:02:03 is specified.
In the event of a DHCP server being unavailable, the DHCP client will automatically assign an address using
AutoIP.
Any DNS server addresses received from a server will be passed to the DNS relay. (There is also an analo-
gous option to pass the addresses to the DNS client).
For this to occur, the DHCP client must request DNS server addresses from a server (maps onto the
request directive).
The DHCP client will insist that a default gateway parameter is present in any lease offer (maps onto the
require directive).
Finally, the DHCP client will send out galapagos as the value of the host name option – this can be used by
some ISPs as part of a simple authentication process (maps onto the send directive).
The final step is to tell the Residential Gateway to update the DHCP client software with the new IP interface
and configuration that has been defined. To do this, issue the following command:
dhcpclient update
Note: NO configuration changes that you have made on the DHCP client will take effect until you enter the
DHCPCLIENT UPDATE command.
5.1.4 DHCP Relay
A DHCP relay uses the facilities of the IP stack to transmit and receive DHCP packets.
From a DHCP client’s point of view, the relay acts as a de-facto DHCP server, and this operation is transparent.
This is useful where a network administrator only wishes to have one DHCP server across several physical and
logical sub-networks.
The relay works by forwarding all broadcasted client requests to one or more known DHCP servers.
Server replies are then either broadcast or unicast back to the client via the DHCP relay.
Note: Note DHCP Server and DHCP relay cannot coexist simultaneously
